"Hokum", originally a vaudeville term used for a simple performance bordering on vulgarity,[2] but hinting at a smart wordplay, was first used in a billing of a race record for Tampa Red's Hokum Jazz Band (Tampa Red and Georgia Tom).
The groups continued into the 1930s, with Big Bill Broonzy joining forces with Georgia Tom as Famous Hokum Boys[4] on records for the American Record Corporation, joined occasionally by Frank Brasswell, Mozelle Alderson, and possibly Arthur Petties.
The list of session musicians includes Bob Robinson, Banjo Ikey Robinson, Alex Hill, Casey Bill Weldon, Blind Blake, Aletha Dickerson, Jimmy Blythe, Teddy Edwards, Washboard Sam, and Black Bob.
Ikey Robinson, Alex Hill, and Cecil Scott were billed as Hokum Trio.
