This is some of the best early jazz that youll ever hear. The overall
traditional jazz landscape would be incomplete without these hot little records.
Descending upon the Gennett recording studios in August of 1922, the New Orleans
Rhythm Kings called themselves the Friars Society Orchestra in honor of Mike
Fritzels Friars Inn, a Chicago speakeasy that gave them lots of gig work. Husk
OHare was designated as their director. Its worth noting that a gathering of
hares is traditionally known as a husk. If thats not the origin of his name, it
is a staggering coincidence. A husk o hares, get it? Anyway, these rusty old
stomps and shimmies are a joy to behold. Farewell Blues is as good as it gets.
This number and Tin Roof Blues really put the Rhythm Kings on the map.
Discontented Blues turned out to be a nice vehicle for Jack Pettis, who
generates one of the very first tenor sax solos to make it onto phonograph
records. The saxophone really adds a whole dimension to this ensemble. Panama is
pretty darned scratchy at the outset; they probably should have found a
different copy of the original platter. Up until this track these old Gennett
sides sounded pretty good. Tiger Rag and Livery Stable Blues are similarly
disrupted by more surface noise than was heard on vinyl LP issues of this same
material. (How puzzling!) With Oriental, we return to decent remastering, which
is not really so much to ask. Just when you think the trouble has passed, Thats
A-Plenty sounds a bit scrofulous. Fortunately, the sound quality improves after
this, so the listener is no longer distracted by excessive scratchiness.
Shim-Me-Sha-Wabble comes across beautifully, Mel Stitzels piano quite audible
through the horns. As any collector of old records can tell you, when theres a
lot of surface noise, the piano is among the first instruments to get lost in
the scuffle. Artie Matthews Weary Blues rocks nicely, setting an example for
later generations to emulate. Da Da Strain is a marvel of studied polyphony, a
jacked-up conversation between staunch cornet, reefer-head clarinet, and dog
trombone. Irresistible! Drop everything and dance around the room to this. Jelly
Roll Morton wrote Wolverine Blues after spotting what he considered an unusual
zoological word on a barbershop in the wilds of Michigan. The Rhythm Kings
version of this song is delightfully solid and relaxed, kicking lightly and
wagging its tail. Maple Leaf Rag sends perky trills right on up through the
scratchy record surface. Jelly Roll Morton actually sat in with this band on
July 17 and 18, 1923, breaking the color bar and sounding marvelous behind the
horns. Mr. Jelly Lord wins awards for best slow drag, while London Blues and
Milenberg Joys are fundamentally essential recordings that need to be studied
carefully and lovingly, for this is one of the taproots of jazz, this bundle of
old-fashioned/newfangled dance tunes on scratchy old records. Even if a few of
the tracks could have been cleaned up more diligently, its probably good to hear
authentic 78-rpm surface noise so nobody forgets what it sounded like.
