The Charleston Chasers recording sessions were often a pseudonym for Red Nichols Five Pennies, but the name was used by Columbia for various other outfits including the Original Memphis Five. The Charleston Chasers records had an all-star cast of musicians and even featured several fine vocal recordings. Eva Taylor does a great version of “Moanin’ Low” and Jack Teagarden contributes a nice version of “Beale Street Blues“.
