The last recording sesssion of the Charleston Chasers took place on Feb 9, 1931, under the direction of Benny Goodman. Four numbers were recorded, two issued under the name of Johnny Walker and His Orchestra. [I don't think that "Johnny Walker" was a real person, just a pseudonym used by Columbia. Spelled Johnnie, it is a popular brand of Scotch whiskey).

Listen to the lovely song When Your Lover Has Gone composed by Einar Swan and arranged by Miller..
Benny does Bix in his solos. Agree? Disagree? Don't care?
The intro reminds me of another song, one recorded by Jean Sablon in 1937, Melancolie.
