Recorded in Chicago on January 30th 1929 featuring Natty Dominique cornet, Honore Dutrey trombone,
Johnny Dodds clarinet, Lil Hardin-Armstrong piano, Bill Johnson double bass, and Baby Dodds drums.

*"My Little Isabel" was composed by Natty Dominique.

Played at moderate tempo this hot dance tune begins with Natty Dominique leading directly into the clarinet line of leader Johnny Dodds.

Next up Honore Dutrey takes a lulling lead flanked by Natty Dominique.

Then after a brief rapid back and forth between all three members of the front line, Lil Hardin punches it out on the keys made complete with drum breaks provided by Baby Dodds.

At the finish Dodds' sextet tighten up with the clarinet of their leader floating loosely over head.
