The fact that so much good jazz actually comes through the on early Olivers - in spite of Baby Dodds being unable to use most of his kit, the bass player deemed not to be recordable and therefore omitted and the sense that the band was on its 'best behaviour' and undoubtedly a bit overawed by the recording opportunity and process - indicates what an unforgettable and exciting band it must have been when fully equippped and not restrained by the limitations of the acoustic recording studio.
