Midge Williams . . .Jazz Singer of the 1930's

Midge Williams is not a well known name today and she did not record a great deal, but the sides with her "Jazz Jesters" feature three different bands active in the 1930's - the Raymond Scott Quintet (with Carl Wade, Pete Pumiglio and Dave Harris), Billy Hicks' Sizzlin' Six (with Fernando Arbello and Edmond Hall) and the John Kirby Sextet (with Frankie Newton, Charlie Shavers, Buster Bailey, Pete Brown, Russell Procope and Billy Kyle).  Some one off records with Teddy Wilson (with Vido Musso and Jonah Jones), Lil Armstrong (Jonah Jones and Don Stovall) and Miff Mole complete the collection.
