Kid Ory's Sunshine Orchestra backs Ruth Lee singing "Maybe Someday" (song by John Spikes and Reb Spikes). Recorded in 1922 in Los Angeles, California. Issued on Nordskog 3008 B and Sunshine 3002-A.
Singer Ruth Lee made only one record (two tracks--front and back of disc). She might be considered obscure, but this particular record features "hot" jazz musicians on what must be considered a very early date for real jazz. The musicians on this record save Ruth Lee from complete obscurity. She is backed by important musicians--that is her claim to fame.
