*"Trouble, Why Pick On Me?" was written and arranged by Don Redman.

After becoming the director and arranger for "Mckinney's Cotton Pickers" in 1927, in 1931 saxophonist Don Redman formed his own band and took up residency in Manhattan at Connie's Inn jazz club.

Redman signed an exclusive contract with the Brunswick label and over the next couple of years would proceed to be at the forefront in creating the most complex hot arrangements of the pre-swing era.
