An African American Jazz band from Montgomery Alabama. In the 1920’s, that was a testament to the pure dedication of musicians. Philmore Hall, the lead trumpet player, was also the teacher of the famous Dizzie Gillespie. A few members of this ensemble were also part of the Tuskeegee Institute nearby.
