PARAMOUNT JAZZ |  |
Description:
4 CD set. The Paramount Record Company is an enduring paradox known for its cynicism and the inferiority of its production methods, it now represents one of the most important sources of early 20th century American popular music. Its blues catalog has been of most interest to fans and collectors, which has detracted from the wealth of early Jazz material the label issued. Here, expertly compiled and annotated, is a selection of that early Jazz. This set commences with two classic tracks by Joe 'King' Oliver and his Creole Jazz Band, which at the time featured the emerging star Louis Armstrong. That high standard of musician continues throughout. Here you'll encounter early material by stars like Jelly Roll Morton, Lovie Austin, Ida Cox and Clarence Williams. Featured, too, are musicians like clarinetist Boyd Senter who are less well known but, on the evidence here, equally talented. |
