jazz museum hot dance bands of the 20s, vol. 1, 1926-1930

This album is really great, nice enjoyable hot dance band recordings in good sound quality, one of those I would recommend for people just getting into this music. There's not a track I don't like on here.  took off the high frequency hiss and the loud pops, there were uite a few of those and they were louder than the music itself, the transfers were a little dull sounding but they still sound good, I've not altered the sound of them.
here's the track listing with dates and personelle for once!

west coast jazz vol. 2, 1925 to 1931

This is a fantastic lp of very rare recordings but it is quite hissy and the transfers are muddy or some of them, i'd say for collectors oly if the music wasn't so great! I'm guessing most of this is by white bands. We have the first sides recorded by Fred Elizalde here before he came to england and the last track seems to be from a recording for cinima cues or something but features a great small band with piano backing a bit of an annette hanshaw sound alike!
tracks are

Charleston Charley (Wilshire Dance Orchestra) --
Cheatin' on me (Eddie Frazier and his Plantation Orchestra) --
Everything is hotsy totsy now (Eddie Frazier and his Plantation Orchestra) --
Milenburg joys (Carlyle Stevenson's El Patio Orchestra) --
That certain feeling (Fred Elizalde's Cinderella Roof Orchestra) --
Boneyard shuffle (Fred Elizalde's Cinderella Roof Orchestra) --
Wabash blues (Fred Elizalde's Cinderella Roof Orchestra) --
Sincerely I do (Tom Gerunovitch and his Roof Garden Orchestra) --
I'm telling you (Tom Gerunovitch and his Roof Garden Orchestra) --
I found you out when I found you in (Tom Gerunovitch and his Roof Garden Orchestra) --
Alabama stomp (Jack Danford and his Ben Franklin Hotel Orchestra) --
On the Alamo (Jack Danford and His Ben Franklin Hotel Orchestra) --
Tio san (Claude Sweeten and his R.K. Olians) --
On the Alamo (Claude Sweeten and his R.K. Olians) --
Fool me some more (Mezzanine Melodies).

welcome!

this blog is deddicated to out of print lps. No cd reissues will be up here as most of the time these are out there to buy. I will sometimes post reviews or recommendations for cds with links to buy them.
The albums on this blog were ripped from vinyl lps by me personally unless otherwise specified. I have reduced the noise on a few but only very litely if at all. The music here is mosty from the 1920 to 1940 period, perhaps some will be from a later date but i doubt there will be many of those.
