JSngry Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Who is Barney Bigard? Barney Bigard was no "some guy/oh, that guy"! Start buying some Ellington 78s? or some Louis Armstrong LPs? Ok, that Louis is a 78...so go find it. And live for flipping it over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 I thought it was the same person as Benny Berrigan at first. I am way behind on this stuff. Is this called "small group swing"? is that the name of the genre? Yesterdays windfall was quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Bunny, not Benny, but otherwise, yes, "small group swing" should work for every occasion (except, of course, when it's solo, duo, trio, quartet/quintet, and/or big band. Don't worry about being "way" behind, that's just chronology. I was born way behind, and you'd at least 30 years younger than me. Most people alive today were born way behind. But that's not a problem if you view it as an opportunity, an adventure, a challenge, something other than a permanent un- remediable condition! I mean, you already got today to dig into, as well as the music from your youth and approximately a generation before you. The people in this category are pretty much all dead now, and have been for a while now. They were probably dead when you were born, and not just recently. So forget about getting it all, not enough hours in a day, much less a lifetime. But do get this - so many of these dead motherfuckers could really, really play. If you don't get hit by Louis Armstrong, I don't want to hear how much you dig Lee Morgan, because that's just a basic emoptional reaction, not a fully formed, nuanced awareness. I mean, everybody got a basic gut reaction, it's wonderfully human, but also supremely mundane it its commoness, it's not enough to get old on. At some point we're all going to be dead motherfuckers, so don't die not knowing as many badass motherfuckers as you possibly can. And that's what's fun, right, hearing some badass motherfuckers bringin' it. The shit that happened before anything you really know now, you gotta love the badasses there, too, because being a badass then meant the same thing it does now. This has always been the name of this game. You know it when you hear it, no matter how old it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) you bring up good points, well dog better late to the party than never, - im just happy this old bro who brought them in kept them so well each was in its own 12" paper 78 sleve, it was a giant pile, maybe 2 ft tall but i got everything i pretty much needed. 12" break easily. and you know im also stoked about my 1st 12" victor scroll i saw one a few mos ago at goodwill, but it was "sweedish dance orchestra" and i thought ughhh. but paul whiteman-- hoffman has used him as an example before for ultra HQ 78 rpm sound, and you know who else? Ted Weems. Ted Weems was expertly recorded early on. Plus its not horrible music, its not jazz, but its also not dated sounding like rudy vallee. You know on fantasy, dancin' with anson, thats kind of like it too but later. did you hear the 20 second chuck wayne guitar solo i posted above? my 78 doenst sound as hot as the youtube vid, i was hoping the guitar on the 78 was as loud as the video Edited December 29, 2018 by chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Chuck Wayne soudnin' GOOD! I don't about your turf, but down here, Savoy 78s are often in the piles, not the bebop ones, but the R&B ones and the swing combo ones. I hardly buy any 78s no real player, no real storage, but I do like to look, and some real niche stuff, like Myron Cohen 78s on a Yiddish label, I was THIS close to getting those and then thought twice. The most hyped I ever got was finding "Greenbacks" on a red/black Atlantic 78, in some ways my favorite Ray Charles record of them all. Broke it on the way home from the store, turned back around and went back for another one (yes, this was a warehouse or records, probably got inventories from juke box operators, radio stations, every place imaginable. They had a bigger Jazz 45 section than a lot of places had jazz LP sections, and only most of them were promos. Anyway, they still had that second copy of "Greenbacks". I got home with it, but dropped it befopre it got on the turntable. I've kept the label nailed inside my closet door ever since, kind of like a horseshoe, only not. 78s got a sound like none other. I don't collect them (well, not really), but if anybody wants to hang and play theirs, hey, gimme a time and place. I'll be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 78s have all but vanished. there used to be opportunities. many opportunites. those have been exitinguished for a long time. now, its just whenever someone happens to sell some to the local store. ive been to stores in the past w/ tons, but they are all gone!

jeffcrom Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) All my 1926-27 King Oliver Vocalion/Brunswick discs tonight: Someday Sweetheart/Dead Man Blues (Vocalion) Someday Sweetheart/Wa Wa Wa (Brunswick) Jackass Blues/Deep Henderson (Brunswick) Showboat Shuffle/Every Tub (Brunswick) The same take of "Someday Sweetheart," with guest soloist Johnny Dodds, is on Vocalion and Brunswick; I just spun that side on my Brunswick disc, since it's in better shape. Oliver plays a great 12-bar solo on "Jackass Blues," despite one flubbed note. Edited January 1, 2019 by jeffcrom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Chuck Berry on Chess: Maybellene / Wee Wee Hours Thirty Days / Together No Money Down / The Downbound Train School Day / Deep Feeling 78s are so weird and unpredictable. My copy of "Maybellene," which I've had for about three or four years, has a slight warp and some stressed grooves, which has always made it difficult to play. After all this time, I finally figured out what combination of stylus, tracking weight, and EQ works to make it sound good with no skips.

I usually don't change the EQ during a listening sessions. But, hey - collecting and playing 78s is kind of insane, anyway. Very little about it makes sense from a rational perspective.

No, but some of those were pretty close to that. The rundown, as far as I remember: The Paramount and the Jim Jackson I bought from a dealer at a record show. Prices were reasonable, but not amazing. The Memphis Mose I found in an antique store in Kansas City - paid a few bucks. I think the Norfolk Jazz Quartet was in the first large purchase of 78s I made when I started collecting - I bought three boxes from a dealer. There was some good stuff in there. Stump Johnson and Bessie Jackson were from a stack I bought from a neighbor. I didn't pay much because of the condition. One of the Blind Boy Fullers was five bucks, I think, and the other was free.
