Together with the famous Fletcher Henderson Roseland Orchestra and Fess Williams and his Royal Flush Orchestra the Charleston Bearcats opened the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem on Friday March 12 of 1926.
From August 1926 to October 1926 the Savoy Bearcats under leadership of the violinist Leon Abbey made for the Victor phonograph company seven records. A first recording session 8/9/1926, which included Leon Abbey on violin, resulted in two unissued tracks. The next session took place on 8/23/1926.
