more music in the vein of...?

#1 Post by meadtastic » Sat Jan 10, 2009 4:58 pm

Looking for more music in the vein of:

Firecracker Jazz Band
Preservation Hall Early Years stuff
Willie Smith

and anything with that pre-1930 N.O. feel to it...
I'm kind of at a loss as to where to go after Kid Ory, Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, etc.

Thanks everyone!

Pre-1930 'New Orleans' feel is quite specific I suppose (which pre-1930 bands came from New Orleans?). Not sure about the N.O. feel, but, besides those already mentioned you could also look at:

Fletcher Henderson (early stuff)
Tiny Parham
Duke Ellington (early stuff)
Jelly Roll Morton
Red Nichols

Fess Williams
Andy Kirk (early stuff)
Bennie Moten
Coon-Sanders

Which Willie Smith, the pianist or the reed player?
