Used Price: £7.00

Having lived with these tracks for about 50 years, repeated listening has confirmed that these are the finest recordings of a 'classic' New Orleans ensemble ever made. The front line are completely integrated with no one (not even Louis Armstrong!) trying to hog the limelight. There are no 'star' soloists and the cornets, clarinet, and trombone, although distinctive voices, blend together to create a polyphony so perfect as to almost defy belief.

Sadly, this perfection could not last. The era of the great soloists was about to dawn and, although - for example - Armstrong, Hawkins, Bechet, etc created magnificent music, the very fact of their individual creativity meant the end of the truly integrated ensemble until the early ... Read More:

This CD on the Living Era label is one of a series dealing with great jazz musicians. Joe Oliver earned his title "King" in New Orleans before any jazz was recorded, and this CD covers the period after he moved to Chicago and then on to New York. All 25 tracks were recorded between 1923 and 1930, and unfortunately some are less than perfect quality.

There can be no criticism of the personnel line-ups on this CD. King Oliver surrounded himself with the best jazz instrumentalists of the time. In 1923 he had invited Louis Armstrong to join him on second cornet in his Creole Jazz Band. This group also included Johnny Dodds on clarinet, but other great names were to follow and the CD combines contributions from Kid Ory, Paul ... Read More:
