This record was cut in Long Island City, New York during February of 1929 featuring J.C. Johnson pianist & director, with unknown cornet, trombone, clarinet, alto sax, and banjo.

*"Crying For You (Baby Mine)" was composed by J.C. Johnson.

Commonly confused with James P. Johnson, another well known pianist and bandleader, J. C. Johnson was also a composer and song writer active during the 1920's and '30's.

In addition to leading his own group the "Five Hot Sparks" he began working as a songwriter with lyricists such as Henry Creamer and Andy Razaf composing songs that would be recorded by Ethel Waters and Mamie Smith.
