From wikipedia...
Sam Morgan (1895–1936) was a New Orleans jazz trumpet player
and bandleader.
The recordings by Sam Morgan's Jazz Band for Columbia
Records in 1927 are some of the best regarded New Orleans classic jazz
recordings of the decade, and continue to be influential. Sidemen in the band
included brothers Isaiah Morgan on trumpet and Andrew Morgan on tenor sax. Earl
Fouché played alto sax. Trombonist Jim Robinson later achieved fame working
with Bunk Johnson, George Lewis], and at Preservation Hall. Robinson's cousin
Sidney Brown (aka Little Jim or Jim Little) was the bassist, and later worked
with George Lewis, most notably on the Climax sessions in the 1940s. George
Guesnon was Morgan's banjoist from 1930 to 1935.
