tw “1 | ‘ | > oe , . cael . a Pemntes Five Nichols' Red * a Red Nichols and his Five Pennies were one of the most Mpopular bands of the New York Jazz scene of the 1920s. They recorded under a variety of different names, including the Arkansas Travelers, The Red Heads, The Louisiana Rhythm Kings, The Charleston hasers, The Six Hottentots, The Hottentots and Miff Mole and his Little Molers. The band's style was often called "Chamber Jazz" by critics and for what it lacked in hot intensity it made up for with a cool somewhat detached, yet urban and sophisticated sound. In 1959 Hollywood made a highly fictionalized movie about the band called "The Five Pennies", starring Danny Kaye as Red Nichols. a Here is a bonus recording of Red Nichols and His Five Pennies performing the songs “Ida (Sweet As Apple Cider)", "Whispering", "Nobody's Sweetheart", "Who Cares" and "China Boy"." from the 1929 Vitaphone short "Red Nichols and His Five Pennies". Eddie Condon is the vocalist. Thanks to Dennis Pereyra, James Gallup and Verne Buland for their help with this page.
