“Mahogany Hall Stomp“ is performed by Louis Armstrong & His Savoy Ballroom Five Recorded in New York City on March 5, 1929. Issued as Okeh 8680 The Okeh label says Louis Armstrong and His Savoy Ballroom Five, which indicates a connection with the Luis Russell Orchestra since Luis Russell used the Savoy Ballroom name. Louis Armstrong recorded “Mahogany Hall Stomp“ a second time in 1933 (for Victor). Next he recorded it for Decca (in May 1936). The name “Mahogany Hall Stomp“ pays tribute to a New Orleans establishment named Lulu White's Mahogany Hall (a brothel in the Storyville Red Light District along Basin Street in the old French Quarter). The music was composed by Spenser Williams.
