New Orleans Rhythm Kings-Panama (1922) video includes the original pre-electric recording of this classic 1922 jazz dance tune by the legendary New Orleans jazz band, The New Orleans Rhythm Kings, featuring leader Paul Mares on cornet.

The New Orleans Rhythm Kings (NORK) were one of the most influential jazz bands of the early to mid-1920s. The band included New Orleans and Chicago musicians who helped shape Chicago jazz and influenced many younger jazz musicians.

They composed and recorded several jazz standards such as "Bugle Call Rag", "Milenburg Joys", "Farewell Blues", and "Tin Roof Blues". The 1954 pop song "Make Love to Me" was based on their music for "Tin Roof Blues".
