A rag composed by W. C. Handy and recorded by Handy's Orchestra of Memphis in 1917 in New York City. It was the composition featured on his band's first recording. Scott Joplin recorded it in 1916.
By the time he traveled to New York to attend these sessions for Columbia "Father of the Blues" W.C. Handy was already middle aged. With this recording Handy took his place in history as the second African American band director to record "Jazz" following his predecessor Wilbur Sweatman.
