Centennial King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band / Various Artists Add to Cart Centennial will be released on August 30, 2024; order before August 1 for the steepest discount. The 1923 recordings by King Oliver’s working Chicago band are the stuff of legend. Nothing like them had ever been heard on record before, and nothing in jazz would be the same afterward. Here, for the first time, all 37 sides are presented—in release order—on two LPs and two CDs, along with 55 additional tracks (on CDs 3 and 4) that allow us to understand these musical giants not only as innovators but also as products of the acoustic-era recording industry. With all-new restorations and remastering by Richard Martin, these selections have never sounded better. Further, there’s an 80-page book included, where GRAMMY-winning author Ricky Riccardi insightfully tells the story of the relationship between “Papa Joe” Oliver and “Little Louis” Armstrong and gives detailed notes on the tracks. Produced by Archeophone’s Meagan Hennessey and Richard Martin, GRAMMY-winning producers of Lost Sounds. Celebrate the 100th anniversary of these landmark records!

A record company in Austin, Cleopatra Records, has been quietly releasing a number of Buddy Guy and Junior Wells live recordings. These state they are issued with the consent of the Junior Wells estate. The releases include: Live at the Newport Folk Festival 1968. Very good recording and stellar performance. Live in Hiroshima 1975. This was previously released only in Japan as Live in Yuhbin-Chokin Hall. One of the best recordings of this duo. Live in Montreux (1978). I believe this was previously released on a European label. Chicago Hustle (1982). Very good live recording of the Buddy Guy/Junior Wells Blues Band.. Live at Cotati Cabaret (1984). Backed by Little Charlie and the Nightcats, Buddy Guy is in unbelievable form on this one. This brings back to mind when the Buddy Guy/Junior Wells Blues Band rolled into Austin to play at Antone's the last two weekends that I lived there for school (in May of 1983) and the two times they played engagements at the Caravan of Dreams. Those were the days.

Last evening, Mokoomba at District 121 in McKinney. Great band, with a wonderful lead guitarist (Trustworth Samende) and a vocalist with an amazing vocal instrument and who sings in a mere six languages (Mathias Muzaza). Unfortunately, an outdoor concert (it's hot in Texas at the end of June), but a rare opportunity to hear this group all the way from Zimbabwe up close.
