Samples of Very Good Jazz Bands, August 28, 2008
This review is from: Dixieland (Audio CD)
This CD features three samples of each of six Dixieland bands, including Muggsy Spanier's "Great 16", Pee Wee Hunt,Kid Ory,and Jack Teagarden. One of Spanier's numbers "Dippermouth Blues" was recorded under its alternate title "Sugar Foot Stomp". The bands listed above are the better ones, with Hunt's "After You've Gone" leading off. These bands and selections represent some of the better Dixieland stuff out during the 1930's-'40s. Pee Wee Russell's and Jonah Jones' selections are not as well known, but are well handled.
