“Sweet Man O’Mine” – Ford Dabney’s Syncopated Orchestra (1922)

The second-to-last recording session of Ford Dabney’s band in 1922.

Didn’t see a transfer of this one on YouTube yet – it’s a peppy lil’ number with some raggy edges and interesting instrumental breaks throughout.

Recorded in New York City circa March 1922.
