“Kansas City Breakdown” – Bennie Moten’s Kansas City Orchestra

Fantastic performance by Bennie Moten and his KC Orchestra. Solid tuba playing in the rhythm section that is showcased quite a bit and a nice piano solo by Moten. Great ensemble playing all around in this rollicking stomp.

Recorded in Camden, New Jersey on September 7, 1928.
Released as Victor 21693
