"On 18 August 1934 Alice started a series of nine recording sessions for Decca in Chicago. Ike and Henry were at her side again. She started with a remake of ‘Black And Evil Blues.’ On ‘Riverside Blues’ there is no trombone. The violin which is featured instead is played by Artie Mosby, a St. Louis violinist of the twenties and thirties. The Chicago Defender of 27 September 1927 mentions the Royal Gypsy Orchestra, of which Artie Mosby was then a member. The orchestra performed in the New Washington Theatre on 23rd & Market Street in St. Louis. On the piano stool was good old Roosevelt Sykes. Trumpeter Zilner T. Randolph and drummer Lige (= Elijah) Shaw remembered Artie Mosby as a member of the Criterion Theatre Band of St. Louis in 1928. Other band members were Louis Crenshaw (piano) and Shirley Clay (trumpet). On 22 September 1932 Artie Mosby had accompanied Mary Johnson, Eithel Smith, Jimmie Oden and Roosevelt Sykes. Mosby’s sound differs totally from the country blues violinists. He was probably classically trained as he plays with ease in several difficult keys and uses an almost classical vibrato on the long notes in the break. In ‘Riverside Blues’ Mosby fills in the breaks in a soft, jazzy way. On all four 1934 recording the singer is called ‘Little Alice From St. Louis’."
