Description
78 RPM RECORD BY THE ORIGINAL DIXIELAND JASS BAND - AEOLIAN VOCALION 1206 - RECORDED AUGUST 17, 1917. "OSTRICH WALK" AND "TIGER RAG." THESE ARE THE FIRST RELEASED RECORDINGS BY THE ODJB AFTER THEIR EARLY HITS ON VICTOR AND COLUMBIA. IT SEEMS THAT THERE WAS SOME KIND OF COURT BATTLE OVER THE TUNE "LIVERY STABLE BLUES" AND "BARNYARD BLUES" AND THE AUTHORSHIP OF EACH. RECORDING FOR VICTOR WAS PUT ON HOLD AND THE BAND BEGAN TO RECORD FOR THE NEW LABEL ISSUED BY THE AEOLIAN VOCALION COMPANY WHICH HAD BEEN MAKING PIANOS AND I BELIEVE PIANO ROLLS UP TO THIS POINT. ALL OF THESE AV ISSUES ARE VERY RARE AND HARD TO FIND IN GOOD CONDITION. THE GROOVES WERE CUT BY THE VERTCAL (HILL AND DALE) PROCESS AND MUST BE PLAYED IN VERTICAL MODE OR IN STEREO. THE BAND IS WELL RECORDED AND INCLUDES A CLARINET CHORUS ON "TIGER RAG" BY LARRY SHIELDS WHICH IS ONE OF THE FIRST SOLOS OF ITS KIND ON RECORD (ACCOMPANIED BY SWINGING RIFFS FROM CORNET AND TROMBONE). I USED AN LP STYLUS OR 2.5 AND THE DISC PLAYED BETWEEN "E-" AND "E" WITH SOME SLIGHT DISTORTION FOR THE FIRST 10-15 SECONDS OF BOTH SIDES. THE STARTING BID IS $49.99. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE EARLY JAZZ.
