Recorded in New York City during August of 1922 featuring James P Johnson piano.

*"Harlem Strut" was composed by James P. Johnson.

Like his composition "Carolina Shout" this number is another which displays the pianist's mastery of stride piano. Nonetheless it is still essentially a ragtime piece while the later is hailed by the majority as the first jazz piano piece ever recorded.
