About this release
New York, July 3, 1930
63108-2 Black Maria Vic V-38146,
63109-2 Chinnin' And Chattin' With May Vic(Arg)
Both titles also on RCA(F) 741.057, The Old Masters TOM 5, Frog DGF 11.
Note: BM can be heard behind George Bias' vocal choruses on both titles. It is probably the unknown third trumpet player in the first chorus of Black Maria and the straight passages in the verse of Chinnin'And Chattin' With May, where Pinkett plays the 16 + 8 bars growl solo.
Thanks to dreadpirateroberts for the addition
