Born in Memphis RED SAUNDERS moved to Chicago at an early age, learning to play drums well enough to join some of the early jump bands. In 1937 he was in the house band at the legendary Club DeLisa where he eventually became bandleader and made his recording debut in 1945. These initial recordings make up the 27 titles recorded under his own name from 1945 to 1951 be it sextette, band or orchestra......
