This recording was made in New Orleans, Louisiana on March 15th 1924 with Johnny De Droit cornet & leader, Ellis Stratakos trombone, Henry Raymond clarinet, Rudolph Levy alto sax, Frank Cuny piano, George Potter banjo, and Paul De Droit drums.

*"Panama" was composed by William H. Tyers in 1911.

Since its composition in the early 1910's by mulatto musician William Tyers, the tune "Panama" has been played by almost every New Orleans jazz artist from the "New Orleans Rhythm Kings" to Jelly Roll Morton and was even adopted by a number of dance Orchestra's.

It remains a repertory staple of many New Orleans jazz bands to this very day.
