Fletcher Henderson as accompanist noted on the label, therefore no reason to assume anybody else. Joe Smith still under the spell of Johnny Dunn, but obviously developing his own later very personal style! I admit that this is not the Joe Smith we all known from later recordings by Fletcher Henderson or McKinney´s Cotton Pickers, but what we hear here certainly complys with what we know of him from Mamie Smith recordings. So I cannot follow Hitchens here. Notes: - Delaunay: Joe Smith (c), Fletcher Henderson (p) - Jazz Directory Vol.4: Joe Smith (tpt); Fletcher Henderson (pno) - WCAllen p99: Joe Smith cornet; Fletcher Henderson piano. - BGR*2,*3,*4: Joe Smith – c; Fletcher Henderson -p - Rust*3,*4,*6: Joe Smith –c; Fletcher Henderson –p - Choo Choo Jazzers investigation: Hitchens suggests, my (KBR) estimation as to Rex Stewart´s first recording session (016 Rosa Henderson mid-Dec. 1923 above) would refer to this very session
Rosa Henderson (November 24, 1896[1] – April 6, 1968)[2] was an American jazz and classic female blues singer and vaudeville entertainer of the Harlem Renaissance era.
Born Rosa Deschamps[4] in Henderson, Kentucky, she is remembered as one of the great female blues singers of the 1920s and 1930s classic blues era. Her career as an entertainer began in 1913 when she joined her uncle's circus troupe.[1] She married Douglas "Slim" Henderson in 1918 and began traveling with his Mason-Henderson show. Her career as a musical comedian started during the early 1920s, after she moved to New York, where she performed on Broadway. She eventually also performed in London.[1]
Her nine-year recording career began in 1923. During that time she recorded over one hundred songs using pseudonyms such as Sally Ritz, Flora Dale, Sarah Johnson, Josephine Thomas, Gladys White, and Mamie Harris.[1] She was accompanied by the Virginians, Fletcher Henderson's Jazz Five, Fletcher Henderson's Orchestra,[5] Fletcher Henderson's Club Alabam Orchestra, the Choo Choo Jazzers,[5] the Kansas City Five, the Three Jolly Miners, the Kansas City Four, the Three Hot Eskimos, and the Four Black Diamonds. She recorded for Ajax Records, Columbia, Paramount, Victor, and Vocalion Records.
Her recordings include "Afternoon Blues" (1923), "Doggone Blues" (1931), "Do Right Blues" (1924), "He May Be Your Dog But He's Wearing My Collar" (1924), and "Papa If You Can't Do Better (I'll Let a Better Papa Move In)" (1926). She sang the chorus on Fletcher Henderson's May 28, 1924, Vocalion recording of "Do That Thing".
Although there was a marked decline in the number of her recordings after 1926,[1] which was largely due to the death of her husband, Slim, in 1928, she continued performing until 1932, when she took a job in a New York department store.She continued to perform benefit concerts until the 1960s.
Henderson had two children and died of a heart attack in 1968.
