How Can We Help?
The Charleston Chasers was a studio recording ensemble that recorded music on Columbia Records between 1925 and 1931.[1] They recorded early versions of songs such as "After You've Gone", "Ain't Misbehavin'", and "My Melancholy Baby".[2] Their 1931 recording of "Basin Street Blues" featured Benny Goodman, who stated that it was the first time that he was able to show his own musical personality on record.[3]
The group's rendition of "Someday Sweetheart" was featured on the soundtrack of the Depression-era crime drama Road to Perdition.[4]
