Jealous is a dream reverie that Harris could deliver as in I’ll See You In My Dreams and Tea for Two. Another Harris tune Haunting Blues is here from Loren McMurray in 1922 his final year. Coleman Hawkins is identified as the bass sax or was it baritone-player on Somebody Stole My Gal. James Blythe played early boogie out of Chicago.The Arcadia Peacock Orch. was from St. Louis as was Charles Creath. Here also is the original Shanghai Shuffle by its composer, borrowing from Limehouse Blues which swept the US in 1924 with Gertrude Lawrence, whose career crossed with Harris who started in the US and then went to England. The OTO provide our title, led by Ted Fiorito. Nick Lucas is also on the guitar. Jules Schneider plays string slap tongue tenor sax.
