Subject: play that thing

the ODJB has taken a lot of grief from jazz academia over the years, but they actually played a very authentic version of hot new orleans jazz circa 1910-1925 and they swung. This particular version of St L Blues is played with great syncopation and feel. No wonder Bix and other cats were influenced by their sound. That being said, too bad Freddie Keppard turned down a recording contract to be the first New Orleans jazz band to record. Oh, to get in the time machine with recording equipment and hit the Big Easy about 1915...

Very scratchy, but great acoustical recording nonetheless. One can really here the influence of klezmer music in bits of the first third of this arrangement. I like to compare old and newer versions of the same song, and would pair this one with Pearl Bailey's cover from '40s/'50s.
