*"Shanghai Shuffle" was composed by Gene Rodemich and Larry Conley.

Louis Armstrong's solo on this record is exceptionally great! The recording serves an an perfect example of the before and after effect his presence would have on the "Fletcher Henderson Orchestra" as a whole. The first minute is a fairly accurate representation of what this largely dance-based assembly sounded like before his arrival while the rest of the side demonstrates the, profound and far hotter, difference.
