Description

Gennett #3183, Two-Artist record. Side A 'No Man's Mamma' The Original Indiana Five were not from Indiana. Their name was an apparent attempt to sound like other bands of the day that had names like the Original Memphis Five and the Original New Orleans Jazz Band. The band played mainly in New York City and were broadcast on the radio. They were active from sometime in the late Teens or early 1920s to 1929. They also recorded under the name of John Sylvester and his Orchestra. The group got back together in 1948 and played in New York until sometime in the early 1950s. Side B 'Cooler Hot' by Jack Stillman's Oriole Orchestra. Very little information on-line about Mr. Stillman, perhaps he performs under an alias?

This record is in great condition, no chips or scratches, but could use a cleaning. 1925 pressing.

As record grading can sometimes be a subjective thing, affected by the imagination of the seller, I do not attempt to grade the records I sell. If they're scratched, I'll say so. I sells 'em as I gets 'um, no cleaning or restoration. Queries are welcome. Money back guarantee.
