Ray Miller & His Black And White Melody Boys - Columbia A3519 (1921)

Sticking with Ray Miller again...this one looks to be his first record for the Columbia label.

Wondering if the Pollack listed as composer for Weep No More is Ben Pollack. He would have been only 18 years old when this was recorded and that may be young but just two years later in 1923, he did co-compose Tin Roof Blues. Anyone know?

EDIT: Thanks to Althazarr for sending me the information on Lew Pollack.

Richard M. Jones - Gennett 5174 (1923)

I recently found and sold an Andrews Sisters 78 (Decca 3598). I then used the proceeds to get the following record...even had enough left over for a Dr. Pepper.

From wikipedia…

Richard M. Jones, born Richard Marigny Jones, (13 June 1892 – 8 December 1945) was a jazz pianist, composer, band leader, and record producer. Numerous songs bear his name as author, including "Trouble in Mind".

Jones grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana. Jones suffered from a stiff leg and walked with a limp; fellow musicians gave him the nickname "Richard My Knee Jones" as a pun on his middle name. In his youth he played alto horn in brass bands. His main instrument, however, became the piano. By 1908 he was playing in Storyville, the red-light district of New Orleans. A few years later, he often led a small band which sometimes included Joe Oliver. Jones also worked in the bands of John Robichaux, Armand J. Piron, and Papa Celestin.

In 1918 Jones moved to Chicago. He worked as Chicago manager for publisher Clarence Williams. Jones began recording in 1923, making gramophone records as a piano soloist, accompanist to vocalists, and with his bands The Jazz Wizards and The Chicago Cosmopolitans. He recorded for Gennett, OKeh, Victor, and Paramount Records in the 1920s. He also worked for OKeh Records as Chicago supervisor of the company's "Race" (African-American) Records for most of the decade. In the 1930s he played a similar role for Decca.

Richard M. Jones worked for Mercury Records until his death in 1945.
