Although none of its sidemen (other than Nappy Lamare and Eddie Miller) became famous, the spirited ensemble effectively bridged the gap between the New Orleans Rhythm Kings and late-'20s dance bands.

They were one of only a handful of bands that were recorded in the city of New Orleans in the 1920s. The band descended from 'The Invincibles String Band' which had been playing around New Orleans since 1912.
