The Savannah Six (OM5) / Original Indiana Five - Harmony 58 (1925)

Not exceedingly rare or collectible but has proven tough for me to find...the only other one I've been able to stumble upon was cracked. Been after this one for three years since finding the other record by The Savannah Six. This completes the Original Memphis Five's run under this name on the Harmony label.

Phil Napoleon t / Miff Mole tb / Jimmy Lytell cl / Frank Signorelli p / ? John Cali bj / Jack Roth d.

Recorded in New York on October 26, 1925.

The Original Indian Five: Tom Morton d, dir / James Christie t / Pete Pellizzi tb / Nick Vitalo cl, as / Harry Ford p / Tony Colucci bj.

Alberta Hunter Acc. By Memphis Five - Paramount 12016 (1923)

(From a store stock 78)

Was just reading where these sides are considered the first of their kind...but not exactly sure of what the "first of their kind" means.

Another article considers Jelly Roll Morton's and the New Orleans Rhythm Kings recordings, waxed a few months after these, as the first interracial jazz records...so, again, what does the "first of their kind" mean?

Alberta Hunter v / Phil Napoleon t / Charlie Panelli tb / Jimmy Lytell cl / Frank Signorelli p / Jack Roth d.

Recorded in New York in February, 1923.

Broadway Seven / Broadway Music Masters - Grey Gull 1192 (1923)

Here we have the Original Memphis Five as the Broadway Seven and an undetermined (by me) Grey Gull studio band on the flip.

Broadway Seven: Phil Napoleon t / Miff Mole tb / Jimmy Lytell cl / as / John Cali bj / Frank Signorelli p / Jack Roth d.

Recorded in New York on December 1, 1923.
