Probably unanswerable is a year when this started. You can hear it on earlier recordings like Don Murray's clarinet on Royal Garden Blues with Bix in 27. Anyway, Sidney Bechet was doing this (among who know how many others) before the first recordings were ever cut. (I've stuck steadfastly to your c...

There's no where online I know of to play them except that 'Blues' track on that page already given previously in this thread. The CD I mention was produced by a Swedish collector in 1993 who got hold of a copy of the original recording on a 12" 33rpm acetate and used it for this Ambassador CD ...

The Louis Armstrong, Jack Teagarden, Fats Waller number is on this CD, track 14. Tracks 10-15 cover the entire session aka The Martin Block Jam Session :

and no wailing!

"do you mean there were multiple voices singing at the same time?" Yes "Guitars as the most prominent instrumental sound?" Yes, though not the only instrument in the entire recording I listened again (to make sure I was not going mad) to the Jumping Jivers version you suggested. ...

"Could it have been Louis Jordan playing with a group on something like an AFRS broadcast?" Possibly but there are so many of those to go through - how to easily and quickly check them? "How about this one? "Five Guys Named Moe" - The Jumping Jivers... " Not that one - ...

I heard a version 2 weeks ago playing in the background in an antique shop. Long story why I didn't ask shop assistant about it. It was definitely not a Louis Jordan version - those are all way faster than this one. This one sounded like the Mills Brothers backed by musicians. I've no idea WHO it re...

To say the KKK helped even indirectly bring us Jazz is over egging the pudding a bit. In fact, the 3rd and 4th paragraphs in the article make conflicting assertions regarding the basis for Gennett's economic strength. Anyway to answer your question, I did know about this before reading the article. ...

Maybe I am late to the game, but I didn't know the label had been resurrected. Apparently it got revived in January under Sony.

Well since picking that CD up, I got my hands on another from the label, Louis Armstrong & All Stars live in Philadelphia. There's definitely a mention of that CD in a discography I found for him some place online too. Here is Basie's CD at Tower Records, for example : http://www.tower.com/count...

By a stroke of luck, picked up a CD on this label at the weekend with Sidney Bechet and Wingy Manone live at the Town Hall in 1947. The liner notes reveal a host of other CDs in the collection with significant lumps of tunes I don't already have. Definitely not an American label - Dutch I think. Doe...

So given that it was recorded and not live, it could be someone else, not the Hot Sugar Band - right? Because it's not on their CD.
