Are you sure it's Cyrus St Clair on bass? Pops Foster recorded with Bechet, Dodds and JPJ at the ''Town Hall'', although I don't know how many of these performances were recorded.
The 'classic' recordings of Dodds on the records from the 1920s feature him on woodblock and a bit of cymbal only, due the the limitations of the recording methods in those days. It is often claimed that the bass drum and snare would make the stylus jump out of the groove. Some modern attempts at recording with 1920s mechanical equipment suggest this isn't true - more likely the bouncing of foot on the pedal did - or more probably there just wasn't room with everyone trying to crowd around the recording horn. Whetever the reason, I bet the bands of the 1920s sounded very different to the recordings when they played live!
If you listen on good speakers to the 1917 and 1918 recordings of The Original Dixieland Jazz Band, you can clearly hear that there's bassdrum on them. Sometimes the bass drum hits are fairly forceful too.
One of the greatest drummer who inspire a lot of drummers who follow him
i love the urgency of baby dodds drumming, he was right out in front of the beat and totally moving the band
WoW Thanks.
14:42 An amazingly talented drummer: just listen to how he even plays pitches at the end of the phrase!

That's Jazz ! If you're going to tell me this music came from Africa I would be VERY surprised.

Four great performances by Bechet also.
Rip roaring. Could someone list the personnel on these? Thanks in advance.
What year is this?
