Fletcher Henderson And His Orchestra play "Business In F", a good, swinging side featuring Colman Hawkins. J C Higgenbotham also solos - and there's some great hi-hat work by Walter Johnson.
This number was written by Archie Bleyer, who is also the arranger. Not a great composition, but a good example of how these riff themes were increasingly featured (by both black and white bands), signalling their rise to prominence in the Swing era.
