It only seems fitting to have a recording by Fletcher Henderson and his Orchestra to go along with the Jazz Orchestra bracelet. Fletcher Henderson first began performing with his band at the Club Alabam on West 44th Street in 1922. Later, the group moved to the Roseland Ballroom, which was becoming one of the most prominent ballrooms, not only in New York City, but the entire country. “The Stampede” features a young Coleman Hawkins soloing.
