*"Louder And Funnier" was composed by Joe Sanders.

A number previously played and written by "Coon-Sanders Nighthawks Orchestra" the arrangement is given a hotter treatment largely facilitated by the scat vocalization of John Fielding with the aid of 'Snub' Mosely and 'Stuff' Smith.

Alphonso Trent's Orchestra were forced to return to Fort Smith, Arkansas in 1929 following a fire at the
Plantation Club in Cleveland, Ohio that destroyed their sheet music and instruments.
