#Jazz

Spent the last roughly 3 hours listening to the 6 #LP #MosaicRecords set of "The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Sidney Bechet" recorded between 1939 & 1953.

I'm not really a #Dixieland or #TraditionalJazz"fan but the time flew by as I changed/flipped the LPs every 15 mins or so listening to this amazing 70-85 yr old music.

Sidney Bechet played jazz #clarinet long before #BennyGoodman came on the scene &, while it's undocumented, I dare say that what #Goodman learned about how to play the jazz clarinet, he learned from #SidneyBechet.

Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five - Volume 1

To think that this was already 30 years old when Dad bought it in the 50s...it's now a 99-year-old recording of a hugely important period in Jazz history, where Louis Armstrong kind of invented the whole idea of soloing.

Mono, a bit rough as they gathered around a single mic, low-fi and rather glorious.

Louis Armstrong and his all-stars - Satch Plays Fats

A 1956 copy (from my Dad's collection) of a disc from Holland, clearly bought by him when he was in the Air Force (as a physician, stationed in Germany)…and I can't help but think of him trying to relax in any downtime listening to Satchmo and his band covering these Fats Waller tunes.

This mono Phillips version sounds great.

Can one in fact hear some funky Dixieland? As far as I can tell, it exists as a concept entirely within the Doobie Brothers' "Black Water".

Dixieland may just not be funky!

Pointers to actual funky Dixieland appreciated.

@trex Ja, das "sprengt" aber den musikalischen Rahmen dieses Forums.
Siehe auch die Profilbeschreibung: "Musikspektrum: #Rockmusic #DarkWave #Alternative #Metal #Gothic #Punk #Oldies #Grunge u.v.m."

Aus den #60s & #70s kommt vielleicht noch was. Allerdings eher die gitarrenlastige Richtung ala Stones, Doors, Led Zeppelin... Da bin ich selbst allerdings nicht so gut informiert
👉 (Wer war denn Donnerstags im #Exit oder gar #BigPub ?)

🎺 Aber für #Jazz #Dixieland u.ä. gibt es im #Fediverse bestimmt auch viele Interessierte! Möchtest Du da nicht ein #Forum für eröffnen?
