I wish I KNEW who I was seeing at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festivals in the 1970s because some of the great artists of Dixieland, brass band, and boogie woogie were still living and playing! I know I saw Percy Humphrey and Roosevelt Sykes but there must have been quite a few others. I wish I had REALIZED who I was seeing.
Gennett Jazz on JSP
Paramount Jazz on JSP
(as recommended by colinmce. I concur!!)
Not box sets but there are many great cds for this time period on the Frog label in the UK. I have quite a few King Oliver and Clarence Williams cds, for example.
We had a feeling that when Mitchell Parker came into the game against the Giants that there would be trouble! Gave up a grand slam to end the game 11-10! It was on all the highlights as the wildest game of the day!
Bed time story for my cat! (just kidding. It's his Latin lesson)

Pepper with watermelon
Three Angels, from Bob Dylan, New Morning. What a strange song! I wonder if he ever does it in concert? I recently came across a post saying he played If Dogs Run Free very seldom in concert. Like for the first time ever in a recent concert! I wonder if he had a jazz scat singer accompanying him?
(I LOVE the New Morning album!)
Just Wailin' (Herbie Mann with Charlie Rouse and Kenny Burrell) has 3 of the 6 tunes written by Mal Waldron. Really liked this album too. From 1958 on New Jazz label.
Has my favorite version of Canto de Ossanha (my version includes that among 13 songs). Slowly uncoiling. Cool! (If this is against forum rules I apologize!)
