by Louis Armstrong

In conjunction with the release of Ken Burns' ten-part, 19-hour epic PBS documentary Jazz, Columbia issued 22 single-disc compilations devoted to jazz's most significant artists, as well as a five-disc historical summary. Since the individual compilations attempt to present balanced overviews of each artist's career, tracks from multiple labels ...

Louis Armstrong and King Oliver (1923) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong and King Oliver

Louis Armstrong's tenure as second cornettist to the great King Oliver is one of jazz history's legendary apprenticeships, on a par with the one Miles Davis served with Charlie Parker or Stephane Grappelli's with Django Rheinhardt. Sadly, only a handful of recordings survive from this formative period in Armstrong's career; happily, all of them ...

Oh by Jingo (1964) more music like this

by Clancy Hayes & the Salty Dogs

Clancy Hayes, a fine banjoist who originally came to fame with Lu Watters' Yerba Buena Jazz Band in the 1940s, was a rarity. Unlike most Dixieland-oriented musicians who choose to sing, Hayes' likable voice was quite strong; he always swung and his winning personality made his singing a high point whenever he appeared. He recorded frequently with ...

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1923) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

This four-CD set does its best to summarize Louis Armstrong's career during 1923-1934, reissuing 81 of his finest recordings. The problem is that virtually all of the innovative trumpeter/vocalist's records from the era (particularly 1923-1931) are essential, and collectors will want to work on acquiring more complete series, so this box is most ...

Spreadin' Joy: 1940-50 (2001) more music like this

by Sidney Bechet

Here is a peripatetic grab bag of this and that from a span of exactly a decade, an unevenly fruitful period for Bechet that culminated in his becoming a national hero of sorts in France. Taking advantage of expired copyrights, Naxos draws from a variety of labels, sampling from some 1940 sessions from HRS, his brief swinging renaissance at Victor ...

The music on this CD was originally part of two different LP's put out by the Fairmont label: the complete Live From The Dawn Club and Lu Watters' half of an album split with Louis Armstrong called Louie and Lu. Featuring Lu Watters' Yerba Buena Jazz Band at the peak of its powers, these radio airchecks are well recorded for the period and contain ...

1949, Vol. 1 (2001) more music like this

by Sidney Bechet

For some reason, many jazz historians seem to consider Sidney Bechet's collaborations with Wild Bill Davison as somehow flawed. Apparently, they expect the feisty, cornet-toting rascal to lie down and allow Sidney to walk all over him. If Bill were so compliant and non-assertive, he never would have earned his moniker. Sure, the two horns jostle ...

Preservation Jazz (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

This sampler has 15 selections taken from the 1918-1926 period, mixing together some obscurities with well-known jazz performances. One problem is that exact dates (beyond the year) and personnel are not listed, making this of lesser interest to collectors despite the inclusion of a few rarities. The programming is also a bit random, although ...

1923-1925 presents Sidney Bechet at his earliest, and these are historically important recordings made by one of the giants of jazz. Even on his earliest tracks such as "Wild Cat Blues" and "Blind Man Blues," Bechet's style is already mature and distinctive, and these sessions laid the bedrock for the artist's performing career for the decades ...

Hot Jazz on Blue Note is a four-disc, 72-song box set that boasts a cross-section of classic traditional jazz and jump blues from the Blue Note vaults.

by Sidney Bechet

After Blue Note switched to bop in 1947, it was the end of trad jazz on the label, with the exception of a few sessions led by Sidney Bechet and George Lewis. The masterful soprano saxophonist Bechet led no less than nine dates for Blue Note, as well as appearing as a sideman on four others, all of which were included in Mosaic's now out-of-print ...

Remembering Louis (2002) more music like this

by Marty Grosz/Ken Peplowski/Jon-Erik Kells/Vince Giordano

Although 14 of the 16 songs on this set were recorded by Louis Armstrong (he never got around to "How Am I to Know," which he did perform in 1930, while "In the Land of Beginning Again" was the closing theme song of Fate Marable's band when Armstrong was a sideman), there is no attempt to re-create Satch's solos or try vocalizing like him. Instead ...

Mosaic Select: Sidney Bechet (2006) more music like this

by Sidney Bechet

Sidney Bechet, the first great jazz horn soloist to be featured on records, was a remarkable soprano saxophonist and clarinetist. He dominated ensembles, often taking over the role of a trumpet or cornet, and was such a dazzling soloist that he ended up being the favorite musician of both Duke Ellington and John Coltrane. On this three-CD set, ...
