If one CD compilation could represent a body of work that defined the art of
jazz during the mid-20s, this might be it: cornetist Louis Armstrongs first
recordings as leader of his own band, beginning in November of 1925 and covering
almost exactly one year of vigorously creative activity as the OKeh record
labels hottest act. In addition to Lil Hardins skills as composer, pianist,
arranger, and professional advisor, Armstrong was fortunate to have in his
little group rock-solid trombonist Kid Ory and clarinetist Johnny Dodds, who can
be heard playing alto sax on Come Back Sweet Papa and Dont Forget to Mess
Around. Last but not least, Johnny St. Cyrs banjo served as the rhythmic and
tonal backbone of the Hot Five. Some of these records -- Cornet Chop Suey,
Muskrat Ramble, Heebie Jeebies, and Yes! Im in the Barrel -- became archetypal
blueprints for jazz performance. Each track is packed with pleasant surprises.
Gut Bucket Blues, named in honor of a diet of entrails dictated by poverty, was
one of Armstrongs very first recordings to be punctuated with friendly, vocal
outbursts. Inspired by a popular dance step, Georgia Bo Bo was composed by
Thomas Fats Waller. Lil Hardins King of the Zulus is a masterpiece of comically
enhanced jazz, topped only by a cover version waxed a few months later by Thomas
Morris and the New Orleans Blue Five. The vaudeville aspect of Louis Armstrong
is well represented here, particularly when he is joined by punky-voiced Lil
Hardin on Georgia Grind. May Alix, typical of music hall singers of her day,
uses a shrill vibrato to serenade her Big Butter and Egg Man. The effect,
especially when tempered by a humorous vocal from the cornet player, is
marvelously old-fashioned. Also included are four Vocalion sides from May of
1926 by the Hot Five -- billed as Lils Hot Shots -- and two featuring Armstrong
with Erskine Tates Vendome Orchestra. Tates high-stepping group only managed to
record four titles, two in 1923 with Freddie Keppard and the two sizzling stomps
issued here. With master percussionist Jimmy Bertrand hitting the cymbals with
all his might, the two frantic Tate sides contrast wonderfully with the more
compact, intimate sound of Louis Armstrongs Hot Five.
