Recorded in Chicago at the Webster Hotel on December 8th 1926 featuring Joe Richolson and Bob Pope trumpets, Rex Downing trombone, Harold Thiell, Joe Thiell, and Floyd Estep saxophones, Joe Sanders piano, Russ Stout banjo & guitar, and 'Pop' Estep tuba, and Carleton Coon drums.

*"Brainstorm" was composed by Joe Sanders.

One of the jazziest numbers ever played by the "Coon-Sanders" band this memorable fox trot was an overnight success and became an instant standard performed by other hot dance orchestras.

In 1919 Joe Sanders gave up on a professional baseball career to pursue music full time with the formation of the "Nighthawk Orchestra" together with percussionist and co-founder Carleton Coon.

Being an extremely talented composer and lyricist the jazz world would be fortunate for Joe's history altering decision for his written output alone.
