Too what? - You'll get me shot, I'm supposed to be watching another flic
atm!

Go and look at the 'new Technics' on the Bubble's ACA website
http://aca.gr/ - it was mine!!! (See other post, if it shows up!)

btw - I've now checked out quite a few (until I lost interest) of
that big long list of (jazz) names you posted earlier. Seems a lot
of those guys were either just band members or session guys. Many
are listed as appearing on, or working with, but not actually having
produced any records (recordings) in their own right, just moving
from band to band. So you may well be hard pressed in finding any
solo work on LP, CD or whatever - erm, 78s may be a better bet ;)


Yes, absolutely right - these names came from the '504 Label' records I
have, where the same people crop up in various different bands. I listed
them as an 'homage' as most of them must have been in their 70s, some 30
years ago, when the records were cut. (Work it out for yourself......)

The bands themselves have the following names:

Wendell Eugene's New Orleans Band
Teddy Riley's New Orleans Band
Michael White's New Orleans Band
Kid Sheik's Storeyville Ramblers
Lionel Ferbos And His Creole Serenaders
Chester Zardis And His Hot 5
Jack Willis And His New Orleans Band
Sheik And Sadie
Chief John Brunious And His Mahogany Hall Stompers
Basin Street Six

The discs were recorded from the 50s through to the 80s, mostly in the
Ultrasonic Studio, New Orleans and all these bands played regularly at
places like the Preservation Hall as well as clubs and bars, particularly in
Bourbon Street, New Orleans (I gather, from the sleeve notes). As you are
well aware, 90% of all Jazz players (including the most famous names) did
session work and 'mixed and matched' in various bands. I wouldn't expect to
find (or, perhaps, want) solo work from any of them in particular - as much
as, say, Jeanette Kimball (herself born in 1908) adds to the mix with her
piano work in Wendell Eugene's outfit, more than one or two solo pieces from
her would soon have you reaching for a shotgun.....!!!

Yes very nice. So the second one was the Mono? ;)


They were both mono, but what I was alluding to was that, apart from the
different workings of the same tune 50 years apart, it seemed obvious to me
that neither of the vocalists had bothered to put their teeth in!! (Mebbe
the music's annoted thusly!)

Keith - that strange little skipped beat almost exactly half way
through the first one - is that intentional or a groove jump that you
have cleaned up?

Presuming you mean Beedle Um Bum (I never did see the post myself) I have
had a good listen to both the WAV I recorded (and the MP3 I created from it)
and can't hear a skipped beat myself (that don't mean there ain't one
tho'.....:-).

There's a good deal of distortion but, WTF, the recording was 1929, it was
last track Side 1, there probably *was* a clump of crap on the needle (the
Shure V15 is quite prone to 'ferble distortion' as it's only trailing at
about 1.1 gm....), it was getting late and the recording I made was a hasty
grab with NO cleaning up whatsoever (I almost never bother anyway, I *like*
those little vinyl noises, especially on the old stuff - makes it
'real'.....!! :-))

If you can give me a tighter timing for it, I'll expand the waveform greatly
and post a screen shot of that section later on, if you are interested.

I might also post another track later on as I think the recording quality is
*excellent* for the time it was done and the Cotton Pickers track I posted
was nowhere near the best on the album! (It just had the whackiest name!)

(You can't listen to this disc and keep your feet still.........)

OK - it's gone. It was there in the same place twice when I listened
to it streamed, but now I've downloaded it into Cooledit the rhythm
stays perfect.

And why have I never come across this track before? What album is it
on?

Don, I ain't here - I'm gone.

It's McKinney's Cotton Pickers - see

change to the titling - that wuz just a bit of fun with Ronnie) See Ronnie's
preceding posts for more details. (Let me know if you want an Audio CDR to

Here's one I looked up ...

------------------------
Shiek and Sadie
Artist George Kid Sheik Colar
Album Title Shiek and Sadie
Date of Release Aug 1, 1985
Genre Jazz
Styles New Orleans Jazz
Label 504

REVIEW: The only reason to acquire this small-label LP is for the
inflexible but appealing rhythmic piano of Sadie Goodson Cola, who
was 84 at the time. The rhythm section (71-year-old bassist Frank
Fields and 81-year-old drummer Milford Dolliole) is not bad either.
The problem is that trumpeter Kid Shiek Cola, who was 76, sounds
106. His playing is constantly faltering, with plenty of wrong
notes; his three vocals (particularly "My Dreams Are Getting All the
Time") are closer to croaking than to singing; he should not have
been recorded at this late date. Fortunately, Sadie Goodson has the
lion's share of the solo space and two features with the trio ("You
Can Depend On Me" and "Don't Get Around Much Anymore"), and her
occasional vocals are tolerable. This release (whose motto, "Real
New Orleans Jazz," should have been "Real Old New Orleans Jazz") is
definitely for specialized tastes.



Heh heh! Told you, didn't I? :-)

OK, I've got this one - I'll post "My Dreams Are Getting Better All The
Time" later on and mebbe "You Can Depend On Me" and "Don't Get Around Much
Anymore" if I think they better demonstrate the above critique. (Gotta go
out now.....)

These ole boyz (and girlz) might not win American Idol, but they'll damn
soon get you shugging round the room!

(I don't play 'em all the time , but I bloody love 'em! :-)
