Earlier:

Dixieland Comes To Carnegie Hall - Stan Rubin and his Tigertown Five [a college band from U of P] - 10" LP recorded live November 27, 1954.

Enthusiastic audience, cheering, shouting etc.

Fun.

Stan Rubin - clarinet

Win Morgan - drums

John Dengler - clarinet

John Eaton - piano

Eddie White - bass

Bill Spilka - trombone

And now:

Muggsy Spanier and his Dixieland Band - another 10" LP, but on the EmArcy label.

My favourite track on this collection is the very first one on Side A, "Lazy piano man," a slow, bluesey beauty.

The first record I ever had, given to me with a little portable record-player was an "8 Top Hits" one.

Those of you who remember those records know that they weren't compilations of the original performances, but covers by musicians and singers quite often not credited on the cover. But, this one was done by Don Raleigh and his Orchestra with Jimmy Perry and Les Young doing the vocals.

I'm playing one now.

The track list is:

Round and Round

Marianne

Butterfly

Almost Paradise

Mama Look At Bubu

Party Doll

Teenage Crush

I'm Walkin'

These were not bad, although they were lacking the heart of the originals.

But, for 99 cents for a 10" LP they were a way people could have versions of the hits of the day.

Not bad. :w

Izzackually.:)

I also had Harry Belafonte's first album from the calypso craze.

It was decades before I discovered that he has a jazz/blues background.

I found his Belafonte Sings The Blues album a couple of years ago.

Beautiful collection.

In an era like ours in which we're inundated with information - with inexpensive LPs and CDs everywhere - there is something kind of poignant about records like the one you describe.

I agree. I found it on a shelf at my primary vinyl source, alongside 10" albums by Clifford Brown, Harry James, Sarah Vaughan, Woody Herman and Rafael Mendez. I bought those, plus the 8 Top Hits. Warmed my heart. :cool:
