James Edward Ellington, aka Duke Ellington, dropped out of high school in his junior year in 1917 to pursue a career in music. In 1923 the Washingtonians, a five-piece group of which he was a member, moved permanently to New York. They made their first recordings in November 1924, and cut tunes for different record companies under a variety of names. The group gradually increased in size and came under Ellington's leadership. They played in what was called "jungle" style, their sly arrangements often highlighted by the muted growling sound of trumpeter James "Bubber" Miley.

The Ellington band moved uptown to The Cotton Club in Harlem on December 4, 1927. Their residency at the famed club, which lasted more than three years, made Ellington a nationally known musician due to radio broadcasts that emanated from the bandstand. In 1928, he had two two-sided hits: "Black and Tan Fantasy"/"Creole Love Call" on Victor and "Doin' the New Low Down"/"Diga Diga Doo" on OKeh, released as by the Harlem Footwarmers. [William Ruhlmann - All Music Guide]

This record is from a pair of sessions; “Louisiana” is from a session on October 17, 1928, and the other side, “Awful Sad” is from a session date a few days later on the 20th. This is the lineup that includes Bubber Miley, Barney Bigard, Sonny Greer, Lonnie Johnson, and Johnny Hodges. And YES that is the same Lonnie Johnson who (as a blues singer) had a hit with “Tomorrow Night” in the late ‘40s.
