Lots of varied stuff tonight, but I ended up with New Orleans trad 45s. No usable pictures of many of these on the web.

Armand Hug and His New Orleans Quartet (Southland four-track EP, 1954)

Kid Thomas - New Orleans Jazz (Smoky Mary, 1973). With Willie Humphrey on clarinet and Sister Annie Pavageau on vocals.

Clem Tervalon - Eh Las Bas / Streets of the City (Clemente, 1973). Clement Tervalon (1915-1989) was one of the unsung heroes of New Orleans trombone. Alvin Alcorn and Albert Burbank are on board here.

Bill Matthews and His New Orleans Ragtime Band (Southland four-track EP, 1954). Not great - "racehorse Dixieland," as Bunk Johnson put it.

George Lewis and Papa Bue's Viking Jazzband (Storyville four-track EP, 1959). Very nice collaboration, recorded in Copenhagen.

Sidney Bechet at Jazz Ltd. (Atlantic four-track EP). Three 1948 tracks with a Chicago band and a later French side.

Ken Colyer's Jazz Men (Storyville four-track EP, 1953). Okay, not a real New Orleans band, but my favorite European trad band. And dang - this is way better than the Bill Matthews EP, even though those guys are all New Orleans natives.

The music fulfils the promise of the picture! 

[Royal Oak]

Yes, I like this album. I only realised yesterday that it's 3/5 of the band from "Harold In The Land Of Jazz" (swap Jack Sheldon and Curtis Counce for Rolf Ericson and Leroy Vinnegar).

 

Both excellent albums anyway, Land and Perkins are always worth listening to, IMO 

[kh1958]

Jimmy Smith, Hobo Flats (Verve)

John Klemmer, Finesse (Nautilus, direct to disc). A vapid turkey of a  recording, not saved by the presence of Roy McCurdy and Bob Magneson. The true originator of smooth jazz? 

Duke Ellington and His Orchestra (Alamac). 1941 transcriptions.

[Royal Oak]

Today, so far:

Wayne Shorter - Night Dreamer. I'd never heard this before, even on CD

Coltrane - Live at the Village Vanguard

[kh1958]

Red Allen, Charlie Shavers, Cozy Cole, Jazz at the Metropole Cafe, volume 1 (Bethlehem).
