Recorded in Chicago on July 13th 1926 featuring George Mitchell cornet, Kid Ory trombone, Johnny Dodds clarinet, Joe Clark alto sax, Lil Armstrong piano, and Johnny St. Cyr banjo.

*"Mad Dog" is credited to Lil Hardin Armstrong and Louis Armstrong.

The "New Orleans Bootblacks" (aka "New Orleans Wanderers") were a studio group made up of
Louis Armstrong's "Hot Five" minus their famous front man.

Beginning with a couple of enthusiastic slides from Ory's horn and they're off for this instrumental
romp filled out for the most part by the reeds of Joe Clark and Johnny Dodd's.
