Doc Cook and his 14 Doctors of Syncopation worked at the Casino dance hall at the White City amusement park during the late 1920s. The amusement park was located at 63rd and South Parkway in Chicago. Cook’s band also toured the midwestern states. The group broke up after having all their instruments stolen from the bandstand during a break at a marathon dance contest.
