5.0 out of 5 starsTHE RECORD-HUNTER'S DREAM
By Barry McCanna on February 1, 2009
Format: Audio CD
Many jazz musicians have their own voice, which expresses itself via their instrument, but there are a few, like Oliver, Ellington and Morton, whose individuality pervades their compositions and recordings also, and Tiny Parham deserves to be considered alongside them. From the beginning of July 1928 to November 1930 he made a series of recordings for Victor, mostly of his own compositions, with a largely static group of musicians, which in terms of arrangement are quite as advanced as anything else being recorded at that time.

The acme was reached in late 1929, when one session produced both the ecclesiastical "Cathedral Blues" and the equally descriptive "Black Cat Moan". Indeed, it is no exaggeration to describe many of these pieces as tone poems. The wonder is that a company such as Victor permitted time and energy to be expended on what could not have been a commercial proposition, and indeed many of the original recordings are extremely rare. Full marks to Timeless then, for having reissued these masterpieces, which were both supplied and remastered by the late John R.T. Davies.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe man was an artist
By jive rhapsodist on January 8, 2008
Format: Audio CD
Is this an essential purchase? It is, if you love Jelly Roll Morton - Parham is something like Herbie Nichols to Morton's Monk. Well, this is maybe not the best analogy. Parham's melodies are nothing really special. But his ingenuity in orchestrating for his seven-piece band certainly puts him on Morton's level. There is some really top - notch Chicago Jazz on this set, particularly on Disc 1. And Quinn Wilson is one of the baddest, funkiest tuba players of all time (but you knew that already because of his work with Morton and Hines, right?). Jogo Rhythm moves effortlessly through its multi-themed structure and the groove is 20's Jazz at its grooviest. The soloists are not amazing, but it really doesn't matter. Skag-A-Lag, Voodoo, and Stompin' On Down are also fantastic. But the high point is Jungle Crawl. Virtually mapped moment to moment to Ellington's Mooche (relation of themes, sonic contrasts, and don't forget those temple blocks), it achieves its own majesty, grandeur and poignancy. A masterpiece, even if a totally derivative one. Need I once again tell you that the remastering was done by John R.T. Davies - my late hero!

5.0 out of 5 starsTerrific If You Like Music That Doesn't Sound So Polished that It Lacks Humanness
By Frederick Roberts on May 28, 2013
Format: MP3 Music Verified Purchase
Once jazz was dancing or marching music. In my view, jazz peaked during WWII, which ended along with the big band era. (I was six in 1945). Thereafter what was left of jazz became brassy as in a cheap bleach blonde, buffed, programmed, and impersonal. Some old classics survived with popular singers of the late-40's, and the 50's, but hearing them butcher Cole Porter et al was painful. In the 60's, (1963) the Beatles decisively ran them off the field. Running low on energy, after WWII what was still called jazz gave out to be replaced by something very different, called modern or abstract jazz.

Those seeking the primitive kind of jazz as in the 1920's or 1930's (I know from surviving 78 RPM records) will very much like this selection of 50 pieces. Any choosing to dance to it easily can. Tiny Parham made a vast hit among friends in Europe. It brought broad smiles to their faces and gave them all an authentic "American high". "Afro-American", a phrase unknown in Parham's day, would be nearer the truth.

Those seeking modern or abstract jazz and who prefer that kind, may want to steer wide of Tiny Parham's band's music. It is lively, graceful, and for moving the whole body to. Not cerebral music to think by.

5.0 out of 5 starsFor Lovers of Lively Yet Mellow Sounds
By Fmaxrobs on December 1, 2013
Format: MP3 Music Verified Purchase
Very listenable mostly mellow and danceable tunes, that one could call primitive jazz--the only kind available before super cerebral modern jazz came on the scene.

Modern jazz seems music to think by.
Some music is only for listening--Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart.
Some music is for listening or marching--Souza at one end, then jazz dirges and marches at the other.
Some music is for listening or dancing--Parham's output belongs firmly in that bin.

Parham's music comes with atmosphere, in contrast with later jazz renditions by say, Peggy Lee et al. Parham's jazz lacks the sharp-edged, blarey, super-loud, machine-age hardness of a precision drill team that came to characterize jazz just before the cerebral modern jazz took root.
