"The Georgians" were a smaller band assembled from members of the "Phil Specht Orchestra" led by Italian trumpeter Frank Guarente a one time student of Joe 'King' Oliver. After leaving New Orleans in 1916 he traveled the country before joining the Specht band at the Hotel Alamac in New York. In 1922 Guarente traveled across the Atlantic with this small group giving European audiences their first taste of real American jazz.
