He founded a early jazz club in the city called the Apex which was later named Club Alabam. Mosby also wrote music for King Vidor’s 1929 African-American movie musical “Hallelujah” and his band appeared briefly in the film, supplying some very hot background music and accompanying Nina Mae McKinney on the song “Swanee Shuffle”, and playing their song “Blue Blowers Blues” underneath the comedy routine.
