New Orleans Boot Blacks - Columbia 14337 (1926)

Lil Hardin Armstrong set up recording dates for what basically was Louis Armstrong's Hot Five/Seven ensemble with Coulmbia Records...only one problem, Louis was tethered to a contract with OKeh.

No big deal, she tapped George Mitchell to replace Satch on cornet. More information on him here.

Here are 2 of the sides that were waxed on July 14, 1926.

Personnel: George Mitchell c / Kid Ory tb / Johnny Dodds cl / Joe Clark as / Lil Armstrong p / Johnny St. Cyr bj.
