The HARLEM HAMFATS, were neither "hamfats" (jazz slang for an uninspired musician), nor were they from Harlem. The were one of the first studio bands put together to specifically back up other artists & their jazz is danceable, humorous & infectious.
Kansas Joe McCoy on vocals & guitar. Papa Charlie McCoy on guitar & mandolin. Herb Morand on trumpet. John Lindsay bass. Odell Rand on clarinet. Horace Malcom piano. Freddie Flynn & Pearlis Williams on drums.
