Great recording of this tune by trumpeter Herb Wiedoeft's Cinderella Roof Orchestra with Jesse Stafford's trombone, Gene Secrest's clarinet & alto saxophone, Gerhardt "Guy" Wiedoeft's tuba & Adolph "Ad" Wiedoeft's drums.
This was Wiedoeft's first Brunswick recording as leader after his earlier recordings for Nordskog, the same label that also recorded jazz tailgate trombonist Kid Ory's Creole Jazz Band.
2 years later, Wiedoeft hired trombonist & singer Clyde Lucas, one of Jack Teagarden's main influences along with Louis Armstrong.
Thanks!

"Cinderella Blues" seems to have been first recorded in 1923 - an original Brunswick recording played on a 1920s Victrola can be found on YouTube. Trumpeter Herb died in a car accident in 1928, and trombonist Jesse Stafford took the lead. The picture below is titled "Herb and the Boys".
