Harvey Brooks Quality Four - Frankie and Johnny (1924) video

There's more than one man with this name. This Harvey Brooks was a journeyman keyboard artist whose career began in the early '20s on tour with classic blues singer Mamie Smith. He headed for California after leaving Smith's employ and became one of the co-leaders of the Quality Four combo, also involving Paul Howard, for whom he also followed marching orders in Paul Howard's Quality Serenaders through 1930. The first half of the subsequent decade was a splash of dates with Les Hite's Orchestra across the calendar pages, but following this experience Brooks decided to lead his own outfit. While attempting to establish this group, he also began working as a music director on film projects. Harvey Brooks Quality Four - Frankie and Johnny (1924)
