Recorded in New York City during May of 1920 featuring Frank Christian cornet, Frank Lhotak trombone, Achille Baquet clarinet, Jimmy Durante piano, and Johnny Stein drums.

*"Why Cry Blues" is credited to Jimmy Durante and Achille Baquet.

Showcasing the originality of Jimmy Durante, Stein's "Original New Orleans Jazz Band" appear on this Gennett release and would continue henceforth to be billed under the pianist's name.

Of particular prominence is the exceptionally fiery reed playing of Achille Baquet.
