 | | After their team broke up, Straight, together with Roy Bargy (on second piano) and a saxophonist, formed Straight's Trio aka the Imperial Three, doing unsuccessful recording tests for Victor and Columbia on consecutive days in November 1919. |
 | | In 1923, Straight and his new nine-piece band were recording for Paramount, the tracks being simultaneously issued on subsidiary labels as the Frisco Syncopators, Harmograph Dance Orchestra, Manhattan Imperial Orchestra, Broadway Melody Makers and Rendezvous Dance Orchestra. |
 | | Most of Straight's 1926-27 sides went out on Brunswick under his own name but some were also issued on Vocalion as the Tuxedo Orchestra. |
