The Fabulous Danny Boy Album

CD-Charts > Music > Dixieland
from: Sbme Special Mkts.

Release Date March 01, 2008
Danny Boy is by far my favorite song -- and finding a disc with such a variety of versions of "my song"
was like a miracle.

Thanks for fulfilling my dream.

By the way, I was put in touch with your company through a representative of Yesteryear Music.

Copulatin' Blues

CD-Charts > Music > Dixieland
by: Various Artists

Release Date June 25, 1996
Get your mojo working with this CD from Mojo Records. "The Copulatin' Blues" is bound to put some of ya'll in heat.

This CD contains tracks spanning from 1929-1947. I've only heard of one of the songs before, but there are legendary artists like Jelly Roll Morton, Alberta Hunter, and Sidney Bechet & his New Orchestra.

While the recording quality isn't as good as on "Risqué Rhythms: Nasty 50's R& B", I think it would loose its charm if it was. These songs are rough and gritty. The recording studio did not (or could not) over produce the rawness out of the music so the edges are sharp. These are "race records" being saved from complete obscurity.

The songs offer varying degrees of subtlety from the play-on ... Read More:

Turk's DeLight

CD-Charts > Music > Dixieland
by: Turk Murphy

Release Date July 03, 2006
This is a compilation of 3 Columbia Lps from the 1950s. Check out Roll, Jordon, Roll and the selections from Turk's Jelly Roll Lp. If this stuff doesn't put a smile on your face, then check to make sure that you still have a pulse. Highly recommended!

Swingin' Blues

CD-Charts > Music > Dixieland
by: Pete Fountain

Release Date April 16, 1995
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this CD. It features Pete tooting in the traditional Dixieland style as we have come to love him. There are his signature songs (Just a closer Walk With Thee, Amazing Grace) and some standards (Georgia, It Had to Be You). He really lets go on the traditional Dixieland songs, Muskrat Ramble, Basin Street Blues, Tin Roof Blues and Jazz Me Blues. I liked hearing a tuba (being a tuba player myself). There is some really good guitar playing (although there is no guitar player in the credits, it's either the listed fiddle player Johnny Gimbel or banjo player Les Muscott). The recording quality is excellant. All together, a solid CD that is now on my iPod.

The Complete Library of Congress Recordings

CD-Charts > Music > Dixieland
by: Jelly Roll Morton

Release Date August 22, 2006
I had downloaded a few tracks from iTunes and decided that I wanted more. I wasn't disappointed. This is a treasure trove of first-hand accounts from a great and famous musician of what his life was like. The style and tone of Jelly's speech as much as the stories he told really helped paint a picture of being a musician and just being around in the early 1900s. I wish there were more recorded accounts like this--it's sort of like spending a weekend with my grandpa listening to what it was like for him as a youth. There's a lot of great music here too, and language that will offend many, but it's a rough-and-tumble account of rough-and -tumble times. I couldn't recommend these CDs highly enough to anyone interested in the formative years of jazz, ... Read More:

The Firehouse Five Plus Two Goes to a Fire

CD-Charts > Music > Dixieland
by: Firehouse Five Plus Two

Release Date August 01, 2000
I have played and listened to Trad Jazz for my entire career and always wanted to be in a band as good as the FF5+2. Here they are in all their delicious zaniness and playing with their proto-typical astounding musicianship. While many of these tunes are fimiliar, the ones that aren't really well known show off the band. You have to love the insane Ward Kimball for his cheeky W.C. Fields imitation on "Fireman, Save My Child" as well as his kissing ability on the old standard "Hot Lips". I am convinced that next to Bob Short, Don Kinch was the greatest 2 beat tuba player on the West Coast and George Probert, along with his idol Sidney Bechet, will probably be sainted for making the Soprano Sax a credible musical instrument. But you have to give Ward Kimball the credit. ... Read More:
