What are your current favorite new and old Dixie / New Orleans jazz style (Charleston feeling) Artist / Songs at the moment?
(There are many names for this kind of music, but I think you know what I mean)

I don't think I can pick one.
I've been really digging the recording of Tiger Rag off the Eddie Condon JSP box set. Also, Fidgety Feet off the same set.
I've also been keen on Sidney Bechet's recording of Shake It and Bake It off the Ken Burns Jazz series.
There's plenty more stuff but these are a few that I've been trying to work into my sets over the last little while.

I'm having a blast with a CD I just got of Joseph Robichaux and His New Orleans Rhythm Boys (recorded in 1933, so the sound quality isn't so hot, but the rest of it is). Probably a name few people know, but the music is crazy, fun, and
fast. Makes me think of a car chase from an old, silent movie.
OK, I realized there's probably no way to hear Joseph Robichaux online, so I uploaded the last part of
"King Kong Stomp".
Edited to add link to clip.

Jaques Gauthe, a French artist. Not well known, but I love all of his stuff.

Man, where to begin. Top of the list is most definitely Sidney Bechet and Eddie Condon. There's so much good stuff though it can be hard to really choose.

I think it's just getting back to its New Orleans roots.
Jelly Roll Morton remembered Bolden too:
"The tune everybody knew him by was one of the earliest variations from the real barrelhouse blues. Some of the old honky-tonk people named it after him and sang a little theme to it that went like this . . .
I thought I heard Buddy Bolden say,
Dirty, nasty stinky butt, take it away,
Dirty, nasty stinky butt, take it away,
And let Mister Bolden play . . .
This tune was wrote about 1902, but, later on, was, I guess I'll have to say it, stolen by some author and published under the title of the St Louis Tickle. Plenty old musicians, though, know it belonged to Buddy Bolden, the great ragtime trumpet man."

Yeah, Armstrong sang the praises of Swiss Kriss laxatives most of his professional life.
