Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Though not as well known as many of his contemporaries in early jazz, Johnny Dodds was widely respected by critics, fans, and other musicians as one of the greatest clarinet players of the pre-swing era. The New Orleans native had no formal training, learning his art from the ground up by playing with the innovators who coined the musical terminology of jazz. His playing evinced a warm, rich tone and the kind of rhythmic subtlety that defined greatness at the time, and he was known for his emotional, "hot" soloing. These 1927 tracks show Dodds leading a sextet that included the awesome Freddie Keppard on cornet, brother Warren "Baby" Dodds on washboard, Eddie Ellis on trombone, Jasper Taylor on drums, and either Lil Hardin Armstrong, Jimmy Blythe, or Tiny Parham on piano. --John Swenson

5.0 out of 5 stars most important, January 22, 2006
Classics 1927 CD contains all the sides cut with Armstrong playing under Johnny's leadership. Recorded at the same time as Louis' Hot Fives etc., these recordings are just as important. The cd has been unavailable lately. There's also an alternate take of Wildman Blues available from Neatwork. Seems to be the only known surviving alternate from the these sessions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bad review above, November 21, 2003
By A Customer
Dodds came from a musical family. His mother played in the piano in the local church.

He was a skilled improviser and like a lot of his contemporaries was a capable sight reader. He was contemptous of poor musicianship and tried to discourage his younger brother from joining Joe Oliver because of his inability to read. His brother recalled the boss' instructions when asked "how do i read it?" oliver is alleged to have said 'left to right top to bottom'

Please research before putting stuff on the sales site.

Thank you
