LOVE IT!! I often hear people complain about the sound quality of these old recordings but I think this is what gives this music so much character and originality ( besides how great the musicians sound obviously). Everything is way overproduced and digitalized these days....These mono recordings sound so organic and warm......Keith Richards once said that analog recording is far more superior than digital, and there is nothing that sounds better than listening to music on vinyl.....I agree!!!

Thankyou for this, MoleDFigg! According to michaelminn and the Armstrong discography, "This building where the band recorded was in such close proximity to nearby railroad tracks that the band had to time their performances not to coincide with trains passing through." (de Davrichewy, discographer for Media 7's Complete Edition series)

Hi. The Beatles were brilliant, excellent musicians and singers, also wrote much of their own music. This music, jazz by King Oliver's band, is out of this world. It is Stupendous! Wonderful... Old6is... yes, the dancers are boppin'!

Folks who put down this music and recordings as this are probably the same kind of dull minds too lazy to view a film in black and white and actually imagine the Beatles were good musicians when they were dreadfully bad.

Oliver's phrasing in the chorus suggests where "I'm The King Of The Swingers" originated (via his disciple Muggsy Spanier's standard solo on "that's A' Plenty").

The middle strain of this tune was "borrowed" by Disney songwriters for the song "I want to Be Just Like You" in "The Jungle Book"

I stumbled across this some 45 years ago, being a pop music fan at the time. I was downright shocked to hear how people can interact like this, musically, by improvising. I threw away all of my pop records immediatetely. Some months later, I bought me a trombone, after having heard Louis' and Big T's 1945 (?) Townhall Concert "Back 'o town blues". I still get goose pimples listening to that music.

Thanks for this post! I was just reading about this recording in a book called "Jazzmen" by Fredric Ramsy Jr. and Charles Edward Smith. Fred and Charles write that when they first tried to record, Louis and Joe nearly destroyed all the equipment! Finally, they solved the problem by moving the two powerhouses twenty feet away from the recording "horn" they were supposed to play into.

When Joe and Louis first let rip in the studio they almost blew the acoustic recording apparatus up, so their next attempt at recording had them standing 20 feet away from the recording horn. It was under this restriction that Louis recorded his first solo, exactly as it can be heard today, by anyone lucky enough to list to this gem of a record.

Charles Edward Smith et alia "Jazzmen", THE classic account of the early days of Jazz, Derek. My school library had a copy along with The Jazz Record Book by the same authors, THE Jazz discography. The book also cites Dave Tough in a recording studio in Paris - they had to put blankets over his drums they made so much noise.

Anybody who thinks this 'solo' is overrated should try playing that bit, and playing it with that timbre. If you can't play it, you can't run it down. And NOBODY can play it like Louis Armstrong can play it. Take it from me. I've tried. And this is just a tiny bit -- just an indication of the great things to come.

Armstrong's solo here is overrated. Bix and Bechet were recording much better solos at this exact some period. I think Armstrong gets too much credit for "inventing" the solo. Even the Original Dixieland Jazz Band had featured solos. Larry Shields' solo on St. Louis Blues is particularly interesting.

I found your videos as well. You posted some great stuff. Fuzzy Mabel by Morton is a collector's item. I got intrigued by this Mabel Normand, Maybe i'll add some of her pictures to Oliver's first Mabel's dream recorded October 1923. I posted the second already. Take care Bob

Gorgeous piece of early Jazz history. Notice Baby Dodds confined to playing woodblocks, because the still primitive recording equipment couldn't handle the volume of a full drum set.They had enough trouble with King Oliver Louis Armstrong's cornets!

First heard this piece by the Dukes of Dixieland, post WW II. They used real chimes which makes it a different piece of music. I am thrilled to find what I think is the original version. It has certainly has stood the test of time.

Louis' solo after the Chimes (his first ever with the Oliver band) is magnificent and I never tire of it.Copied it to death when I played horn.Keep 'em coming Bob!!

Louis sound so sharp so simple and with a beauty that spark fleshiness even in this days: minimalistic, efective and memorable in a cantabile way...

@RadioFreeWisconsin Maybe because it isn't a solo? Know your facts before making comments that in retrospect make you look stupid.

Gennet records in 1923, did not use cylinders for recording. Worthwhile experiment, and I'd like to hear more. Descriptions of the original recording sessions mention that Oliver and Armstrong were placed far, far away from the horn, with Dodds far to close.
