It started out in 1930 when drummer Willie Lynch formed 'The Blue Rhythm Orchestra'. In 1931, the ubiquitous band agent Irving Mills became it's owner/manager, changing the name to The Mills Blue Rhythm Orch. Willie Lynch then departed and his place as leader was taken by Baron Lee, who remained until Lucky Millinder took over in 1934. The band operated in the years between 1930 and 1938. The band would often play the Cotton Club whenever the Duke Ellington orchestra was on the road.
Over the years the band had a number of different names as well as a number of different leaders. At times it was called Mills Hotsy Totsy Gang, The Mills Rhythm Orchestra, the Blue Rhythm Band, and other names such as King Carter and His Royal Orchestra (when Benny Carter led the group), and still more names too.
This one’s from a session on October 5, 1933 and pairs the tunes “Harlem After Midnight” and “Love’s Serenade.”
