I love the Louis Cottrell album--clarinet, guitar, and bass--it's so refreshing to hear New Orleans jazz from this period without the clunky, non-swinging traditional pianists who mar some otherwise decent recordings. Herb Hall is as good as Ed Hall, maybe better. Haven't heard much Jack Maheu, but he plays a very emotional clarinet. Frank Chace sounded more like Pre-War Pee Wee Russell than Pee Wee did. As I mentioned in this forum once before, Chace was a perfect foil for Jabbo Smith's last great recordings.

I cut my jazz teeth on my father's collection of 78s. He didn't have much Ellington--the RCA Victor "Black Brown & Beige" set of 12" 78s were all broken, though he had kept the larger chunks and the album covers. He also had a Brunswick label copy of "Pyramid", though that had been attacked by mildew, and was unplayable. The flip side of "Pyramid" played fine; it was "When My Sugar Walks Down the Street" (All the Little Birdies Go Tweet Tweet Tweet), with a good humored Ivie Anderson vocal and a nice solo by Cootie Williams. This tune became the one I associated with Ellington for the next couple of years, until I bought the LP "At His Very Best". Here's a somewhat related thread-- http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=18880&st=0&p=346027&hl=rhapsody%20&fromsearch=1&#entry346027

Charlie Holmes was a consistently interesting early player. I also like Don Stovall, Buster Smith, and especially Pete Brown, whose conception, so different from that of Carter and Hodges, makes him one of the swing era's great stylists.

I contend that a book of transcriptions of actual jazz performances by the musician universally regarded as the greatest of early jazz musicians is a book about jazz. That it is a musical description of the music rather than a verbal description only serves to eliminate uncertainty and misinterpretation, for as Henry Osgood demonstrated two years previous to "50 Hot Choruses" in his book "So This Is Jazz", calling a music "jazz" doesn't make it jazz.

I don't see corn pone on the list--thin mush fried in bacon grease. Delicious but deadly.
