Daisy Martin With The Tampa Blue Band - Okeh 8009 (1921)

Seemed like a good thing to post after recently putting on Joseph Samuel's debut Synco Jazz Band recording a few days ago.

Just discovered that The Tampa Blue Jazz Band was Joseph Samuels' group. Here they are in an early racially mixed recording backing Daisy Martin. Her soprano, trilling vibrato might not lend to classic blues fare as readily as others of the era.

Here are two of only sixteen sides she recorded.
