“Screaming the Blues” – Maggie Jones (1924) f/ Louis Armstrong & Fletcher Henderson

Many of the early blues singers recorded with talented jazz performers – and the combination on this record is stellar.

Maggie Jones (who also sang under the pseudonym Fae Barnes) screams the blues with Fletcher Henderson and Louis Armstrong himself in support.

Songwriting credits go to Jones and Henderson.

Not the cleanest copy of this record, but it turned out much better than I thought it would.

Recorded in New York City on December 17, 1924.
Released as Columbia 14055-D.

Credits:
Maggie Jones – vocals
Louis Armstrong – cornet
Fletcher Henderson – piano
