Discovered something new on it that I hadn't heard before. A SECOND version of "Singin' The Blues", also with Bix, but with a vocal. Has to be heard to be believed....really weird.

It's been a great companion while working out income tax numbers! 'Specially Billie singing "God Bless the Child".

Thanks for a very cool link!

Side note to music-diggers in old archives, from exploring the Templeton Sheet Music archive at MSU yesterday. If you go to the Templeton site and have problems getting a piece of music to open, try this: minimize your browser window, open Acrobat, then go back and click on a piece. It seems to want Acrobat to already be ready to go. Also, I had a little hangup printing a whole 5-page piece, and it helped to print one page at a time.

Thread creep ( you know by now I'm a jazz nurd).When I was ego-surfing under my surname I found the Guy of that ilk , who was one of the Four Brown Brothers sax group, wrote Bullfrog Blues (among others) which was credited as being the recording which influenced Sidney Bechet to play saxaphone instead of just clarinet.
Whether true or not...

Mark, if you click on the BANDS link, then the song title within the paragrpahs and listed below, then you can hear the actual recordings. They are really priceless. I am lsitening to Irving Aaronson and his Commanders do Let's Misbehave right now. Some of these remind me so much of listening to mom and dad's old 78's and my uncles playing live jazz from this era.

Thanks a bunch, Rick!

But where's the music? Am I missing something?

Yeah, Rick! Your blue cliquey worked fine! Sorry if I missed this before, too. Looks like a great site! Just sent the link to my son-in-law as I know he loves some of the same music I do.

My mom and dad had an old, old 78 of Sheik of Araby. I'll have to ask my sister to look to see who it was done by.

Thanks,

kat

Ooooh! Thanks, Rick. If you mentioned this before, I missed it.

"... Home is where one starts from.
But Mother never told me
there'd be scenes like this.
Womb-weary
I rest
I have seen goof city.
I have seen the mass mess.
I have heard Kid Ory cry.
I have heard a trombone preach. ..."

Mary, who likes jazz.

I know I've touted "Red Hot Jazz" before, but I LOVE this site, and maybe we'll get a few more converts this time.

Don't be turned off if you (think you) don't like Jazz. There is one hell of a lot of wonderful African-American "folk style" music here. Ever heard the legendary "Papa" Charlie Jackson? You will....here. How 'bout the very first multi-track recording? Nope, not Les Paul by a long shot. The truly fascinating Sidney Bechet (one of my all time fave musicians) did it with "Sheik of Araby". And of course, the "Creme de la Creme"....the famous Lonnie Johnson/Eddie Lang duets. It don't get better than that!

By the way, thanks Peter for giving me some confidence in my "blue clickys"

Hi Bbc. Hope all is well.
