Brown & Terry Jazzola Boys - Okeh 8006 (1921)

Not much information out there at all on this early jazz outfit. They only made nine sides over two sessions with one of those being coupled with a tune from Clarence Williams' first session resulting in issued recordings.

None of the personnel are identified in Rust's discography.

(Both sides suffer from rough starts)

Johnny De Droit & His New Orleans Orchestra - Okeh 40285 (1925)

Not sure how many sides Ellis Stratakos played on but here are two out of three he recorded with Johnny De Droit.

Does anyone out there have the only sides released by Ellis Stratakos & His Jung Hotel Orchestra on Vocalion 15792 (1929)?

Johnny De Droit c / Ellis Stratakos tb / Henry Raymond cl / Rudolph Levy as / Frank Froeba p / George Potter bj / bb / Paul De Droit d.
