Baron Lee & The Blue Rhythm Band

Baron Lee & The Blue Rhythm Band


This band was a "second line" band formed by Irving Mills (Duke Ellington's manager through the 1920's and 1930's) primarily as a replacement for Cab Callaway and the Duke when either or both were "on the road". At its high point, Red Allen, JC Higgenbotham, and Charlie Holmes were the soloists, coming from the Luis Russell band (aka Louis Armstrong's band) in 1934. In its last years, Charlie Shavers, Wilber de Paris, Tab Smith and Billy Kyle were members.
