Fletcher Henderson was one of the most important figures in jazz history — a pioneering bandleader, arranger and pianist whose Roseland Ballroom orchestra in the 1920s was a foundational big band. Brunswick 2592 is from the early to mid-1920s, in Henderson's most creative period. UK pressings of Henderson's Brunswick sides are less common than American copies and are sought by hot-jazz and early big-band collectors. This is one of the more significant jazz items in the list.
