Since it was included in the "Big Charlie" Thomas CD, John R.T. Davies offers a
different identification for the trumpeter. Any opinions?

Also, is it Waller or not as Hans Eekhoff suggests in his posting.

But above all: Do people owing these sides, which are readily available on CD,
actually *hear* the banjo K-B Rau  suggests as also being present.

Hello all;

Glad I found this group.  I'm sure I'll learn a lot, and I've always been
interested in music from 1895 - 1930 or so.

I've just posted a file of my piano playing if anyone is interested.  WW1 tune,
and I hope you like it.  Recorded in 2004 on my Roland.

John

Max Vreede had the original issue as well as a Paramount test with different
takes of these on each side. At the time (late 60's) the general consensus was
Fats on piano and Louis Metcalfe trumpet.
They did those numbers in a stage show with Fats; hence the suggestion that he
was on these sides.
However, Max didn't think it was Fats - and I agree; it doesn't really sound
like him. I don't know enough of Metcalfe's playing to venture an opinion.

Hi K-B:

I haven't seen a copy of Names and Numbers, would very much like to read the
article.  The Past Jazz Masters are important and overlooked:  I consider
"Original Charleston Strut" as good as any jazz recording up to that time (circa
February 1923), tenor break notwithstanding...

As to personnel, the rich tenor lead towards the end of "Lonesome Journey Blues"
sounds reminiscent of Hawkins:  this evolving studio group seems to have
included other Mamie Smith's Jazz Hounds as well.  Fletcher Henderson (with
Hawkins) would cover "Lonesome Journey Blues" and "The Bull Blues" in December
1923, so there are circumstantial links before and after.

"When The Jazz Band Starts To Play" contains a strong open horn solo by the
second cornetist, consistent with the open solo on Miley's "Those Blues".  
Early open Miley is something a problem, from lack of confirmed examples
(identifying him on the 1921-22 Mamie Smiths also difficult for this reason). 
His tone does seem evident, and I hear distinct similarities to riffs and
phrasing of his muted work with the Kansas City Five.

On "Just Blues, That's All" (also covered by Henderson), a "Mr. Smith" is
exhorted during the piano solo.  Apparently one Charles Smith played piano the
same month with Perry Bradford's Jazz Phools, on Paramount 12041 (Garvin Bushell
and Bradford would each later recall Morris in print).  It has marked Smith's
only appearance in discography, which suggests recollection by a musician
(Bradford?).  However, the Jazz Phools pianist provides nearly inaudible
rhythmic support only, making it difficult to gauge potential involvement with
the Past Jazz Masters.

Irvis would play club engagements with Willie "The Lion" Smith in late 1923; the
latter denied involvement with these sides, also reportedly he was not in New
York at the time.

Fascinating subjects (to me anyway)...

John

The two titles in question are "What Do You Know About That?" and "Shut Your
Mouth", recorded for Paramount around January 1927. They have been reissued
twice recently: one take of each title is on the "Big Charlie THomas" CD on
Timeless CBC-1-030 and two takes of each on the JSP Complete Fats Waller set Box
1.

Although there is a great deal of surface noise on the records, I do indeed hear
a banjo quite distincly along with the piano, although he neither solos nor
plays noticable embellishments.

'Fats In Fact' has Shilkret firmly on piano, and the rest named but uncertain. 
These lost performances followed Waller's first pipe organ sides: a momentous

FWIW, Jimmy Raschel's given name was James E. Rachels (sic), the son of a
physician.  His brother, Arthur W. Rachels, 2 years Jimmy's junior, was also a
musician.  Rachels is the consistent spelling in official records.

Jimmy was born at Mexico, Audrain County, Missouri in 1910, but the family had
moved to Danville, Vermilion County, Illinois by 1916 and were still there in
1930.  Raschel was later active in Detroit.

Yves, thank you for your kind words, which are very much appreciated. I also
do not possess matrix #18911, more's the pity. It would be good to work out
who this particular "Paul Davis" was!

Hello, Nick, Michael and all else concerned about Paul Davis CHAMPION 40038 
I just purchased Frog Spawn, and will have more to say in the next day or so,
but in the meantime, I see mention in the liner notes about Paul Davis. I agree
with the liner notes that it sounds like a black band (the names were usually
pseudonymous probably to save money, or have an "anglo" name to sell the record
better). The name "Paul Davis" was used on a variety of records on the Champion
label - much as certain names were used on ARC etc. I have an interesting theory
here regarding this recording (matrix# 18910, you will see why I am taking about
matrix # here in a second), when I look for what band a pseudonymous (this is
probably just that considering Champion's track record with that name) issue on
a record, I look at the matrix numbers, and then play the record you have next
to it (easier said than done here!). Well I do not have Champion matrix # 18911,
but
  look what it is ...
Jimmy Raschel and His orchestrano dertails except Jimmy Raschel, Estelle
Galloway vocalRichmond Indiana November 28 193218911 It Don't Mean A Thing (If
It Ain't Got That Swing) (eg vcl) CHAMPION 1653418912 Nobody's sweetheart (jr
vcl) (unissued)
It is too bad this record is phenomenally rare, it would be instructive to
compare it. Think about it - 2 matrix numbers recorded (or mastered) within 3
days of each other, a known black band in Jimmy Raschel (Raschel's bands -
territory band Detroit - included such alumni as George Johnson, Henry Savage,
Milt Buckner, Bernie Peacock and Howard McGhee over a 17 year period of time),
and one that sounds pretty much like a black territory band of that part of the
country in the early 1930's - makes one wonder - any one who does own Champion
16534 please check on this (while we are at it were there any references to
Raschel by the Argentine guitarist bandleader Ahmed Ratip - who was in detroit
in the early middle 1930's?) - too bad I don't have that one, or else I would
have.more soon andall the bestYves Francois
PS Nick wonderful work on the remastering on this CD - I have to admit the
"Jackson's Southern Stompers" Marathon 227 never sounded better - but that is
another story I will continue tomorrow from last week (and surprised no one was
interested in the gentleman's response - esp 1933 broadcasts of the Johnson
band!!)

                   Firstly, many thanks to Michael for his in-depth review. As
Howard correctly

surmised, the Paul Davis transfer was taken from Champion 40038.



And Michael is also correct in his belief that there is another take of the

Dixie Stompers' "Jackass Blues" which has still not made it onto CD.

Well, let's say this will be a warm, but collective "thank you", and all
others will be as private as the requests.
For possible further swaps, in case some do not get the early Santa-Claus
they expected, I can help you to create another group if you wish ;-)

Thinking that I could have taken advantage of my moderator's priviledges,
and begged for the whole lot before anyone had a chance to read the offer,
tsss...

P. - only joking, I'm glad the group helped with such a nice givaway.

Hello again!
I was not prepared for the overwhelming response to my post on free CDs. I
will pick a few of you on a first-come, first-served basis. Sadly I must
disappoint the rest of you this time as the number of CDs is limited. But I
must say it was heartening to be reminded that there are others enjoying

Lol! Did you expect RHJ members to be only interested in discussion? :D

- Please keep the same subject line when you do not really mean to create a
new topic, it helps with the consistence of "threads" for those who read
from the webpage.

Hello!
My name is Ken and I'm new to this group, this is my first post. Somewhat
unusual perhaps, but...
I'm moving and I need to get rid of a bunch of stuff. I've cleaned out my
collection and have about 10 or more extra jazz CDs which I will send for free
to anyone who wants them. Some Frogs, Classics, Timeless with artists like
Dodds, Parham, Bix, Armstrong etc. Also later Big Band stuff. They were bought
already used but they function.

I don't want to just throw such good music away and I don't have time to start
selling them. (I've copied my favorite tracks for personal use already.)
I'll send them free of charge to anyone who writes to my e-mail
kenikonen@...
If you want more details on what I've got then just ask.

cheers Ken

On the subject of the Wade band in New York...  is this the basis for the Perry
Bradford Timeless CD's firm identification of a Wade group on the 1926 Georgia
Strutters dates?  Do our Arnett Nelson researchers hear him on the Strutters'
Wasn't It Nice?/Original Black Bottom Dance?

Here's a relevant (if somewhat open to interpretation) excerpt from Bradford's
1965 memoir... He attributes this quote to Eddie South:

"...Perry gave Jimmy Wade's band our first break when we came to New York...
yes, he laid four recording dates on us, and through Perry's efforts we got a
five months' engagement at Club Alabam.  Our band followed Fletcher (Smack)
Henderson into this exclusive club when Smack moved into the Roseland Ballroom."

Wade's group recorded with Bradford for Gennett in April 1927; the other dates
seem to be the OKeh Bradfords...?

John

ps The early Wade Paramounts are prime candidates for remastering/reissue.

About Morris's 1926 Victor sides... kbrau44 is correct:  The Mess-2 was in fact
included on RCA FPM1 7049.

Georgia Grind-2 has been listed (in Lord, and Storyville 2002-3) as appearing on
Only For Collectors OFC 17.  That release's printed cover does not list
matrices; the one I examined included a handwritten "36047-2" for Georgia Grind,
yet aurally it was the usual -3.

Some of the instrumentals were reissued on 7" Swaggie and Natchez discs:  I
haven't heard those releases, nor Collector's Classics CC 49.  The New Orleans
Blue Five master takes also appeared on Herwin 107, wonderful album.

Best wishes,

John

ps How speculative is Rust's firmly stated Morris/Nanton/Fuller/Shilkret/Waller
with Six Hot Babies on 17 November 1926 (I'm guessing Victor files give
instrumentation, and show Nat Shilkret present)?  'Fats In Fact' has Shilkret
firmly on piano, and the rest named but uncertain.  These lost performances
followed Waller's first pipe organ sides: a momentous occasion (to me, anyway).

I trust it won't, now that I've disabled the "calendar" feature. I don't
know if everyone here agrees, but I don't think we need to receive reminders
about everyone's birthdays or appointments with the dentist. Interesting
events can be mentioned by posting to the group, there's no need for
automated features for that.
There is no "Dr Delgado" on this group, as far as  know, and the name under
which the person responsible for this obscure announcement originally
subscribed has apparently vanished from the member's list.

  Unfortunately, we don't have anything to suggest other than requesting
again (and again) the help of anyone who would know how to get in touch with
Scott! There was no disapproval in Micheal's comment, just a useful reminder
for all readers of this  group's messages : none of us can interfere with
the RHJ website, not even for such minor (technically speaking) corrections.

Hi Yves, sorry for delayed answer (or reaction), but your remarks are very
interesting. For a long time now do I adore Len Davis tpt-playing. There arent
so many examples of his playing. Maybe he is the tpt player on Cl. Williams
Zonky session Dec. 1929, but I am not so sure. And he plays probably first tpt
on the New York McKCPs. He owns a majestic, strong style with beautiful tone and
a rather essential phrasing, not fast-fingering. A perfect first tpt man. (By
the way, authors of discographies never (?) try to find out who played first,
second and so on tpt. With Ellington you always have Bubber Miley, Louis Metcalf
cnt, whereas it should be Metcalf, Miley tpt. Only in later years every
tpt-player in the Ellington band had to play first or any other part, but mainly
the bands had defined parts for every tpt-player.) De Paris is a much better
second player with his talking/preaching style (Boy In The Boat), playing a lot
more notes than Davis, often muted and growling. A perfect team, Ellington would
have been delighted! (By the way, can anybody tell me how de Paris can be
assumed with Lem Fowler April 1926?? There is absolutely nothing which I
associate with de Paris here!) Stock arrangements of the time always have two
tpt parts, so there ought to be a second tpt-player, but maybe de Paris was not
so secure in reading that he simply took a back seat ?? By the way, Davis played
with Arthur Gibbs band from mid 1927 until mid 1928, changing over to Johnson,
prob. together with Sampson. There is a very beautiful photo of this Gibbs Band
in "Is This To Be My Souvenir?"
Harrison is, I think, undisputed, the clt man Whitted, third alto Sampson with
his Carterish solo, and the tenor man is, in my ears, Benny Waters. Just imagin:
it was not a Johnson session, just a so-and-so little payed recording session
for some publishing company, maybe Waters forgot it two weeks later. Caldwell, a
very interesting musician, (also on the Gibbs band photo!)had a different style.
For me, his style alwasy was some kind of erratic. He played the corner (or
anchor) notes of his solos rather low, not laying much emphasis on them, and
played the unimportant transitional notes rather loud, so that you have
difficulty to recognise what he wants to say, if you know what I mean. He
obviously was only temporarily in the Johnson band as a sub. And he played much
more notes than Waters.
This is not what I hear on the Jacksons. (By the way, do you know, that Chris
Hillman suggested Ben Waters for the Lem Fowler Favorites? An excellent
suggestion!) H. Langhorn certainly plays similar, but I think, that - at that
time - everybody in Harlem tried to copy Hawkins, which resulted in these rather
primitive tenor styles of Waters, Langhorn and co.  Barney Bigard played a
completely different style out of New Orleans, but in his hands the tenor
sounded rather soapy.
The arrangements: The Johnson band had no individual band sound! They mostly
played stock arrangements. What we know of the Johnson band are mainly Benny
Water arrangements, two Benny Carter arrangements - his earliest on record - , a
completely improvised tune (Dont You Leave Me Here), and two tunes, which might
have been brought in by Thomas Morris (Paradise W. and Birmingham BB, which is
very akin in structure to Ham Gravy of the Morris 7 Hot Babies). Dont Forget
is a stock (same as Henderson, Henderson playing the sax chorus with clarinets)
and a blues which to is thought out by a piano player (the arpeggios at the end)
thus perhaps a genuine Johnson arrangement?
And then: I have the Jan. 1933 broadcasts. Here the Johnson band is as modern as
Basie in 1936. You wouldnt believe it !!!
Enough for now, but I would like to read others opinions!

pleasure (and on the Condon session from Feb 1929 as well - I wish Eddie would
have called upon the services of a trumpeter like Leonard Davis for at least
some of the Commodore sessions)! I have been trying to figure it out for weeks -
it certainly did not sound like Henry Goodwin (of the Cliff Jackson band, but
then I do not think he was Jackson's trumpeter that early), and Jacques Butler
(who certainly did have some remarkable bravado in his work, though I wonder if
he would have been that self assured in late 1928, though his named is linked to
a Mamie Smith session that Billy Fowler's Orchestra backed up in 1929, and the
trumpet on that is excellent) may have been stretching it as well (Butler and
the unrecorded Cuban Bennett were both in the Cliff Jackson band around 1928,
certainly Cuban's reputation was great). It does resemble Leonard Davis' playing
with the Condon

the Marathon is very positive playing (they sure had great trumpets in those
days)

were playing what was (probably) part of the bands book (Benny Waters certainly
made me feel it was that, in my conversation with him, even if he felt the best
stuff was not recorded), whereas the Marathon session is a band reading the
stock arrangement for what is probably sight reading. We know that the Cliff
Jackson recordings for Grey Gull were, in the main, stocks of songs that were
presented to them in the studio - and it sounds that way. The Jackson Southern
Stompers is also that - that is why I think many (like me) felt that it could
have been the same band, the musicians are phrasing with a more tentative
resistance than they would if they knew the material better. The only way I can
hear this as a Charlie Johnson band is by listening to the trumpet, trombone,
tuba and drums . We have no real piano to go by on this either, and also
remember, none of this,IMHO, is

- and the trombone DOES sound like Jimmy Harrison on the Marathon record (and to
reiterate again, for what it's worth, I do not hear either Sidney deParis or
Benny Waters, though I am not opposed to Ben Whittet being the clarinet) - could
Happy have been sent as a sub by Benny Waters, or some other Harlem tenor
(Bingie Madison or Horace Langhorn who was on the Jackson Crazy Cats recordings
- to my ears the tenor sounds something akin to the tenor on the Cliff Jackson
recordings)

if the Hot'n'Sweet uses the Davies transfer, it can't entirely be torture. After
what KB said, I listened particularly for the drums and the rhythm section and
while I think I hear drums similar to those on the Charlie Johnson Victors,
especially in one passage towards the end of "Dusky Stevedore", I'm also fairly
sure that it is Cyrus St. Clair on the brass bass instrument - when he come to
the foreground, he sounds like the St. Clair we all know from Clarence Williams
recordings (e.g. the QRS "Midnight Stomp"). Now I'll try to find up-tempo
Leonard Davis.

I'm cognizant of the fact that this is a Forum,  but thanks for reminding
me. It was Scott Alexander whom I sent numerous e-mails  about incorrect
personnel on different records, literally for months, and  apparently hasn't
read them or has put his correspondence in charge of someone  who hasn't
either. Since you don't approve of my trying to find out whom to  voice my
corrections on this forum, and Alexander doesn't respond or make the 
corrections,
who do you suggest I ask?
