jazzbo Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 I've known the Jimmy Joy material for some time from a two lp set on IAJRC that has a bit more than the Jazz Oracle. They are a band that started here at the University of Texas and played in the Austin-San Antonio-Dallas area. People actually talk about them here! Quote

Okay - I'm there. I love Lytell's work with the Original Memphis 5. I didn't realize he had recorded that much under his own name. Quote
Clunky Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 I've been trying to enjoy the Celestin/ Morgan release but my copy will not play beyond track 6 . Luckily I've managed to copy the whole disc and listen to that instead. Great music indeed . The liners make play of the fact that of the 35 sides recorded by black bands in the 20s there are 23 on this disc. So my query is simple what are the other 12 and are they on CD?? Quote
jazztrain Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 I'm assuming they mean black bands recorded in New Orleans in the 1920s. The Jones and Collins Astoria Eight sides probably fit the bill. They're on Frog 5. There are also the sides by Louis Dumaine's Jazzola Eight. Was he black? I'll have to check some books back home later. The Dumaine sidees are also on Frog 5 (Sizzling the Blues). Highly recommended. There's an excellent web site that covers recordings made in New Orleans in the 1920s. See here: http://www.bluesworld.com/NODiscog.html Quote
miles65 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Posted March 19, 2017 Jazz Oracle just announced West Coast Jazz. It includes the Kid Ory sides, Harvey Brooks' Quality Four (with alt takes), Reb Spikes, Dick Lucke, Freddie Carter, Lake Arrowhead Orchestra and a unknown band. Frog announced Frog Spawn The Fourth Batch no track listing yet. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 19, 2017 Report Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Are the Jazz Oracles cdrs? It currently a crap-shoot with their back catalog. Edited March 19, 2017 by Chuck Nessa Quote
AllenLowe Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 yeah, I usually buy used on these labels because it is less likely to be a CDR. Frog has been using CDR's too; also Acrobat, which is doing all kinds of Chess and Savoy reissues. When I do get a CDR, I always return it. Quote
GA Russell Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 Is Acrobat a legit label? I've received emails from oldies.com about Acrobat. Quote
paul secor Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 From what I know, it's probably legit in the U.K. and Europe, but not in the U.S. Not that that means anything these days. Quote
AllenLowe Posted March 21, 2017 Report Posted March 21, 2017 Beware: Acrobat is using CDRs only these days. Quote
GA Russell Posted March 21, 2017 Report Posted March 21, 2017 Thanks Paul. I wonder if they take the time to remaster. Allen, I'm not a fan of CDRs, but it's not like we have much choice. Quote
AllenLowe Posted March 21, 2017 Report Posted March 21, 2017 well the point is, if they want to issue it on something as cheap and perishable as a CDR, it should be very cheap; maybe $5. And I do think we have a choice; with certain labels (like Document) you have to find older issues of CDs. With Acrobat we need to spread the word AND send them emails of protest. The reality is that replication (non CDR) is extremely cheap these days; they are not paying for musical rights, and they can issue real CDs and probably break even with sales of 50. Quote
kh1958 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Posted December 8, 2020 The Jazz Oracle release, Papa Celestine and Sam Morgan, Recorded in New Orleans,1925-1928, states in the liner notes that only 35 sides of black jazz bands were recorded in New Orleans in the 1920s, and this CD collects 23 of those sides (plus two alternates). What were the other 12? Quote
erhodes Posted December 12, 2020 Report Posted December 12, 2020 10... The two alternates are part of the 35. 3/25/25 Piron's New Orleans Orchestra Red Man Blues Do Just as I Say 3/7/27 Louis Dumaine's Jazzola Eight Pretty Audrey To-Wa-Bac-A-Wa Franklin Street Blues Red Onion Drag 11/15/29 Jones-Collins Astoria Hot eight Astoria Stomp Duet stomp Hot Weather Tip Easy Blues All 35 tracks are in the JSP box set "Breaking Out of New Orleans 1922-1929 Quote
Jim Duckworth Posted December 24, 2020 Report Posted December 24, 2020 I really like the Red Nichols Brunswick recordings that are collected on 3 3cd sets, but my favorites are the Jack Purvis and the Papa Celestin/Sam Morgan collections. Quote
