Stoppin the Traffic
The Missourians were the house band at the Cotton Club for two and a half years starting in 1924 and eventually Cab Calloway took over the band and many of the group backed Cab well into the 1940s. The 24 tracks compiled here were recorded between 1924-1930 on the Okeh and Victor labels and include Blue Grass Blues, Alabamy Bound, St. Louie Chant, Prohibition Blues, Market Street Stomp, Swingin' Dem Cats, and others.
