Description

Here's the great TRIXIE SMITH with FLETCHER HENDERSON'S ORCHESTRA, in two of the four sides she made in May, 1924:  


"FREIGHT TRAIN BLUES" and "DON'T SHAKE IT NO MORE." 


The terrific jazz comes from these fine musicians:  HOWARD SCOTT - cornet / TEDDY NIXON - trombone / DON REDMAN - clarinet / FLETCHER HENDERSON - piano / CHARLIE DIXON - banjo.  


One of the few times the team of "Nixon and Dixon" appear on the same date! 


This original 1924 Paramount 12211 is in slightly beat V+ condition. Even wear, plays nicely.

These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing!  My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value.  I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all.  If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will!  Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.”  I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
