THE COMPLETE 1923 RECORDINGS OF KING OLIVER'S JAZZ BAND

Description:
2 CD set. The 37 issued titles by King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band are among the finest recordings of genuine New Orleans Jazz ever recorded! The sheer drive, imagination and power found on these 1923 recordings have inspired countless musicians, collectors, and jazz fans. While universally treasured, these gems have been largely inaccessible sonically for two reasons: the limitations of the original recordings themselves and the fact no reissue has yet presented these performances in a consistent manner, bringing out their true characteristics. Finally, all 37 issued titles by the Oliver band, newly transferred from the best available original sources, issued on two compact discs. Engineer and master sound recording restoration specialist Doug Benson known for his definitive work on "The Complete Hit of the Week" on Archeophone Records and David Sager jazz historian and trombonist have searched far and wide to gain access to the cleanest copies of all the Oliver discs, including the unique copy of "Zulus Ball" and "Working Man Blues." The Oliver ensemble has never been heard to better advantage. Passages long accepted as muddy and indistinct pour forth with unprecedented clarity. Even the introduction of the ultra rare "Zulus Ball," often lamented for its poor condition, shines through crystal clear!
