Arcadian Serenaders

The Arcadian Serenaders, previously named Original Crescent City Jazzers, were a band of white musicians from New Orleans during the 1920s and took their name from the fact that they performed in the Arcadian Ballroom in St. Louis. Their 1924 recordings were the first to feature cornet player Wingy Manone.
