This is some potent stuff. Over the past few weeks, I'd been streaming Clay via YouTube. Needless to say, it sounds even more explosive & impactful in high fidelity. This one is excellent. Quote

Ronnie Cuber as Sonny Rollins. Which is to say that the star soloist plays with a level of energy that surpasses both lesser accompaniment and material that is functional for the purpose at hand. Proof again that making a paycheck record is no excuse for not coming to play! Quote

Record store owners tend to be amazed to sell any of this music... I started mostly with music involving "old" musicians from New Orleans, like Chris Albertson's Living Legends series for Riverside, some related stuff like Emile Barnes on American Music... I was also curious about Joe Mares Southland label and got some of that stuff... more recently, I have mostly been buying stuff with Art Hodes or Don Ewell on them (the latter a revivalist, I guess)... Another really revivalist record I've been playing a lot is one by Doc Evans on Audiophile with Omer Simeon on clarinet... and the Mart Grosz Riverside album with Frank Chace... I've mostly stayed clear of the various European scenes yet (Dutch I could buy by the dozen)... Also haven't really gotten into the Bay area revival even though I did play a few things (like Trouble in Mind by Barbara Dane which is great) I did read up a bit about that weird American scene of College Dixieland bands that brought us people like Steve Swallow or Roswell Rudd... what drove teenagers in the 1950s to this old music? Somewhere I read an interview with clarinetist Stan Rubin, one of the stars of that scene, who more or less admitted that he was a fan of Artie Shaw (like you would expect) until he arrived in Princeton and realized he could make loads of money playing dixieland... regarding resources, indeed the usual channels can be dry but there are some great webpages like this one or that one The best beginner's guide I have so far located has been this one: https://syncopatedtimes.com/texas-shout-8-guide-to-classic-dixieland/ From the 1990s and from a bandleader who is obviously quite embedded in and committed to the San Francisco revivalist circuit. Not much there that a dedicated searcher would not know, but I have not found anything that goes into more depth than this out there. A complete contrast to 'spiritual jazz' or Blue Note or whatever, where there are thousands of lists and dedicated blogs. Quote

Rabshakeh Posted March 26, 2023 Report Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) Al Hirt – Swingin' Dixie! (At Dan's Pier 600 In New Orleans) This one is just a tad on the maximalist side. Like a Dixieland Maynard Ferguson. Quite fun schlocky stuff, I guess. Just as long as noone hears you listening to it. Edited March 26, 2023 by Rabshakeh Quote
Rabshakeh Posted March 26, 2023 Report Posted March 26, 2023 Dick Hyman and Roger Kellaway - Live at Michael's Pub This one is great. Thanks to @HutchFanwho I think recommended it. Such an exciting and fresh sound. Quote
