CD Reviews

Classic 1920s Jazz

B. D. Tutt | London, UK. | 10/13/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Johnny Dodds was one of the finest New Orleans clarinet players of the 1920s, a star of King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band, Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven, and Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers. His blues drenched, impassioned playing is instantly recognisable.This CD features some less well known recordings by Dodds from 1926-27. Not all are top class performances, but three sessions make this release a must - buy for fans of classic jazz. First, the three performances by "Lil's Hot Shots" (in fact, Louis Armstrong's Hot Five moonlighting for Vocalion rather than Okeh). Second, the April 1927 Black Bottom Stompers session featuring Armstrong, Earl Hines and Roy Palmer. Armstrong was again operating extra-contractually, and the contrast between these restrained performances and the more florid renditions of the same tunes a month later by the Hot Seven is fascinating. Third, the October 1927 Black Bottom Stompers session features a Creole Jazz Band style two trumpet lead with the excellent George Mitchell (of Red Hot Peppers fame) and the more idiosyncratic Natty Dominique. "Come On and Stomp, Stomp, Stomp" is the standout track, a wonderfully driving performance with Dodds in imperious form.The recordings are re-mastered from original 78' s by John R.T. Davies, and it is unlikely that better sound quality will be obtained from these tracks for some time.New Orleans jazz lovers should not hesitate to buy this disc."
