Born in 1896, Rosa Henderson was one of the most outstanding of the many early women vaudeville-blues singers to record for the race record companies in the early Twenties. Her recording career covered the span of nine years, from the first for Victor in 1923 to the last for Columbia in 1931. During these years her name appeared on a variety of record labels including Vocalion, Paramount, Ajax and Edison. Also nearly a hundred titles appeared under her name and such pseudonyms as Josephine Thomas, Sarah Johnson and Mamie Harris. Her voice was strong, but at the same time possessed a sweet tone. The material she recorded were typical vaudeville numbers. Also many of her accompanists were of no mean status, including the complete Fletcher Henderson band, and such names as Coleman Hawkins, Charlie Green, Louis Metcalf, James P. Johnson, and countless others . Proof of her popularity with the record buying public was made clear by the number of titles released.
Fletcher Henderson (not related to Rosa) (December 18, 1897 – December 29, 1952) was an American pianist, bandleader, arranger and composer, important in the development of big band jazz and swing music. He was one of the most prolific black musical arrangers and, along with Duke Ellington, is considered one of the most influential arrangers and bandleaders in jazz history. Hendersons influence was vast. He helped bridge the gap between the Dixieland and the swing eras.

Don Redman was born in Piedmont, West Virginia, July 29, 1900. At a very early age he played trumpet in a street band then advanced to the piano and then to arranging. At Storer College in his home state, he studied music theory, harmony and composition while learning various instruments in the jazz orchestra. In 1925, Redman joined the Fletcher Henderson band as an alto saxophonist and arranger. In 1927 he joined up with McKinneys along with a few other members of Hendersons band. The McKinneys Cotton Pickers toured across the midwest to the East playing at Roseland in New York and the Graystone Ballroom in Detroit. McKinneys has been described as a musicians band, not because it lacked a broad public but because its discoveries, like those of Ellington, were a source of inspiration and education, to jazzmen.
