Andy....

Yet another classic mix....how 'bout throwing in a track from a band Brian Rust said {on his old "Mardi Gras" show on U.K.'s Capital Radio} was the "hottest of them all"....King Oliver's Dixie Syncopators' "Wa Wa Wa"....personally, I thought the OKeh "Dippermouth Blues" from '23 was hotter, but who am I to question the esteemed Mr. Rust or his voting listeners....

Thanks! I've got all those Dixie Syncopator sides on LP somewhere (one of those Italian bootleg sets) and they're very enjoyable. (I wouldn't go so far as to agree with Brian Rust that they're the hottest ever recorded--but I am tempted to give them another listen.)

I could listen to some of the 1929-1930 New York sides endlessly--Struggle Buggy and Shake It and Break It, and others. That band should have been much more successful than it was, but Louis got there first.

As far as New Orleans jazz goes, I'd have to put Oscar "Papa" Celestin's Original Tuxedo Jazz Band--"Papa's Got the Jim-Jams"--right near the very top.

You're right--I gotta play more King Oliver.

You inspired me to dig out my 1992 GRP/Decca Jazz CD of King Oliver & His Dixie Syncopators, "Sugar Foot Stomp" {GRD 616}.....while my heart tells me the 1923 Oliver classics are my favorites, but there sure is a heck of a lot of hot jazz here...as is the case on the BMG/Bluebird 1989 CD "King Oliver - The New York Sessions (1929-1930)...

And your regard for "Papa's Git The Jim-Jams" is very well placed!
