Description

A ten-inch Columbia 78 rpm shellac disc housed in a Columbia "New Process Record" paper sleeve printed in grey and black.

The visible side bears the orange Columbia label and is identified as catalog number 228-D, titled "Go Long, Mule," with the composer credit reading "(Henry Creamer and Albert Kim)" and the performing artist listed as "Fletcher Henderson and His Orchestra."

The record was recorded on October 7, 1924, in New York. The reverse side (228-C) contains "Manda," also performed by Fletcher Henderson and His Orchestra.

The personnel for these sessions included Louis Armstrong on cornet, alongside Fletcher Henderson on piano, Howard Scott and Elmer Chambers on trumpet, Charlie Green on trombone, Buster Bailey and Don Redman on reeds, Charlie Dixon on banjo, Ralph Escudero on tuba, and Kaiser Marshall on drums.

Armstrong's presence in the Henderson orchestra during this period marks a significant moment in his early career, when he had recently arrived in New York from Chicago to join Henderson's band at the Roseland Ballroom.
