The Charleston Chasers was an American studio recording ensemble active from 1925 to 1930 that recorded music for Columbia Records. The group recorded early versions of notable songs such as "After You've Gone", "Ain't Misbehavin'", and "My Melancholy Baby". Their 1931 recording of "Basin Street Blues" featured Benny Goodman, who noted it as his first opportunity to showcase his musical personality on record. The group's rendition of "Someday Sweetheart" was included in the soundtrack of the Depression-era crime drama Road to Perdition. Associated artists included Vic Berton, Jimmy Dorsey, Roy Evans, and Glenn Miller, among others.
