I'm an old tenor sax guy who was in my high school marching band and our little jazz combo once upon a time. When I enjoy this fine old jazz I can't help but feel that I was born too late. IF..and that's a BIG if I was talented enough perhaps I could have played with some of these fine musicians. Unfortunately I'm an old man now, indulging in a pipe dream. I enjoy Dixieland jazz too. Thanks for posting this great jazz.
Me too brother. Sang in bars and dance halls in the fifties doing songs from the twenties and thirties. I sang with an old piano man one time who claimed to have jammed with Bix and Trumbaur after hours in 1926 at the Arcadia ballroom here in St. Louis. My mother in law told me that she had danced with them when the musicians would come off the bandstand and dance with the girls. Good old days!
@@joemurphy6168 What was the "old piano man's" name, please? That's another connection, however tenuous, to those guys, and we have fewer and fewer of them with each passing year. I love your MIL story, too - whose music did they dance to, if Bix et al weren't playing (I know there often was more than one band appearing at a given ballroom). Where was she living gg at the time? Thanks!
One of my mom's cousins, Frank Jamison, played piano on the Chicago Ramblers record issued in the late 1960s. The band did a pretty good job of sounding like one from the 1920s. I am SO glad they Didn't use a xylophone or marimba!
Transatlantic Stomp and Barrel House Stomp by E.C. Cobb & His Corn-Eaters. Frank Melrose on piano! One of my favorite piano solos is on Barrel House Stomp by Frank Melrose.
My father was Born in 1926 in New Orleans, I miss him wanted to hear the music and get a feel for the Music and times when he was born and lived. RIP Dad.
My father was born in 1923 in Chicago and I love jazz. He fought in WWII as a member of the 761st Tank Battalion. He developed in me a love for jazz. Semper Fi Marine. Oh and by the way jazz greats Oliver Nelson and Ellis Marsalis are Marines.
Seems to be some confusion over these tracks. The first one is definitely Transatlantic Stomp featuring the Cobb brothers, Frank Melrose and Jimmy Bertrand. The second one (apparently known here as Barrell House Stomp is not the flip side of track 1 but from a different session. Jimmy Blythe is the composer and pianist. The tune was also recorded by Blythe as Ballin' the Jack with the Dodds brothers on Okeh. That version has "Clark" as the composer credit - possibly a psuedonym. The version here is quite different (a bigger band) but the piano solo is VERY similar. The third track is a bit of a mystery. I agree that clarinet is Arnett Nelson but the rest of the band? There is a tenor sax in the background from time to time. The tune is Lee Collins's Fish Tail Blues which he recorded with J.R.Morton in 1924 and Morton later recorded as his own Sidewalk Blues. Anyone out there who can help sort this out?
Wow sir, thank you for all that info. Really. Wish I had just a tiny fraction of your memory and knowledge. I have loved with a passion this kind of music since forever. Well, from my first exposure to it at age around 12 or so. Maybe before 12. Been so long hard to remember. But much as I have been addicted to this joyous sound, even now I haven't your skill. Well done and thank you again.
It's the first two strains of "Sidewalk Blues"; the third one is omitted. But I'm not familiar with this record. ("AndrewJazz" would post three records in his vids without identifying them.) If it was made between 1924 and '26, it could been a derivation of "Fishtail Blues" from a 1924 Jelly Roll Morton date, credited to the excellent young New Orleans cornetist Lee Collins, who played on the session. That version has all three strains. An air of mystery surrounds the tune. Morton himself. famously recorded it with his Red Hot Peppers studio band in 1926... credited to himself! Why Jelly, one of the all-time greatest jazz composers, in his creative peak at the time, needed to steal a tune is unfathomable, but the evidence is on the two records. If the partial version here was recorded after the Peppers side was released or sheet music was published, those are other possible sources.
@Bob Boscorato. Jimmy Cobb, Junie's brother. One of the old Chicago musicians, maybe reed man Lester Boone or Banjo Ikey Robinson, I forget just who now, told me Jimmy worked his way through law school playing trumpet and then became a lawyer in Chicago.

Just take a trip to New Orleans and walk down Frenchman Street any day of the week! Hot Jazz still lives!

Would be nice to know the names and details
Wow u know your stuff
YES SIR, THIS IS VERY REAL JAZZ, I LOVE IT. THANKS FOR SHARING
Stunning quality, Thank You!!
... CONGRATUALTIONS FROM IRELAND ....
AWESOME!!--Thanks!
With a marimba on both tunes, plus the studio sound, it certainly seems like one session. I can believe its Frank Melrose on both tracks.
This is what jazz is all about
Nice jazz xylophone!
Very nice.Is it Bix Beiderbeck ? It seams to be him sometimes...There no indication ! Thanks a lot for sharing this music.
Really super :-) Thanks.
Have you heard the Robert Parker Jazz Classics in Digital Stereo series vol 2 Chicago
Got this one...I like this one very much......3 1/2 stars.....
Sounds like KDKA in Pittsburgh .
Very nice, thanks
stunning!!!
The real thing!
I'm pretty sure the third song is Sidewalk Blues. Does anybody know who the band is?

For those who "thumbsdown" this assemblage of the very best of JAZZ there can be only one,condign,punishment:cutting off the thumbs!
Very impressive indeed. Understand he died. What happened with his outstanding collection?
Wunderbar
I like it
Who is the cornettist on .38 pls.
Who's the hot trumpet player?
