FATS WALLER – 1927-1929 | The Classics Chronological Series – 689 (1993) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Now this will give you an idea of how versatile Thomas "Fats" Waller had to be during the late 1920s. Classics 689 must be counted among the most stylistically diverse assortments of Waller recordings ever assembled on one collection. Most people who look for Fats Waller's music want to hear "Your Feets Too Big" "Ain't Misbehavin'" or "The Joint Is Jumpin'," and would be terribly confused or put off by the first four selections on this album. These are essentially Harlem lieder elegies, composed and recorded in memory of Florence Mills, a singing actress whose sudden death stunned the Afro-American population. "Bye Bye Florence" is the prettiest of these sad melodies, and its lyrics are very moving: "Little blackbird, all your friends are grieving for you." Two of the three vocalists trill their 'r's as if aspiring to be admitted into operatic society, while Carroll C. Tate sounds a bit more natural. We should be grateful to hear these very rare recordings, which sound a lot like European art songs. On December 1, 1927 Waller made two solo pipe organ records, one hot, one blue. On that day he also sat in with Morris' Hot Babies, alternating between hot pipe organ and Harlem stride piano. "He's Gone Away" is full of pepper, "Geechee" has a great "ooh-wacka-ooh" chorus, "Please Take Me Out Of Jail" is riotous fun, and "Red Hot Dan" contains Waller's very first recorded vocal, which he agreed to perform only after being urged on by Morris. We also get to experience the only two accompaniments that Fats ever performed on record behind his lyricist Andy Razaf. The next two sessions are chamber music of the most unusual sort: as a member of Shilkret's Rhyth-melodists, Waller the pipe organist is teamed with piano, violin, harp and sweetly muffled trombone. As one quarter of an ensemble calling themselves the Louisiana Sugar Babes, Waller's pneumatic pipe organ interacts magically with James P. Johnson's piano, Jabbo Smith's cornet and Garvin Bushell's clarinet, alto sax and bassoon. As one-tenth of an ensemble backing up Gene Austin, Waller gently operates piano and celeste. Participating for the very first time as the named leader of his own hot jazz band, Fats Waller spontaneously concocts a slow drag and a hot stomp. These are two of the best three-minute records made by anybody during the 1920s. For a humorous and detailed eye-and-ear-witness account of how this session almost didn't happen, consult Eddie Condon's autobiography We Called It Music. These musicians had never worked together as a unit, and had no idea what they were going to play when they entered the recording studio. Listen to Waller's piano and you can hear him demonstrating to the band exactly what to do next. After presiding over the creation of two entirely improvised masterpieces, Waller remained seated at the piano to record "Numb Fumblin'" and "Handful of Keys." Seldom has music of this potency and enduring value been recorded in single takes with so little preparation. That's what jazz, and Fats Waller, are all about. arwulf arwulf

CLARENCE WILLIAMS – 1929-1930 | The Classics Chronological Series – 810 (1995) FLAC (tracks), lossless

The eighth CD in the European Classics series which is reissuing complete and in chronological order all of the recordings led by pianist/composer Clarence Williams documents his activity from a ten-month period. During this era Williams varied his personnel and instrumentation from session to session and the results are quite varied yet consistently hot. Williams's groups feature such sidemen as cornetist Ed Allen, trumpeter Charlie Gaines, the reeds of Arville Harris and Russell Procope, the enthusiastic tuba of Cyrus St. Clair, Floyd Casey on drums and washboard, two excellent vocals apiece by Margaret Webster (her "You've Got to Give Me Some" is a near-classic) and Eva Taylor and, on eight selections, the masterful pianist James P. Johnson. The highpoints are "How Could I Be Blue?" and "I've Found a New Baby," performances taken as piano duets by Johnson and Williams that include some humorous conversation. All of the CDs in this very valuable series are highly recommended to collectors of 1920s jazz. Scott Yanow

This CD is the ninth in an extensive series that reissues all of the recordings led by pianist/composer Clarence Williams. Since Williams headed a wide variety of exciting small groups in the 1920s and '30s that utilized the playing of many top jazz players, all of the CDs are worth acquiring by collectors of classic jazz. The 22 selections on this particular CD range from novelty Williams solo performances to groups featuring trumpeters Red Allen and Ed Allen, Albert Socarras on several reeds (including flute), clarinetists Buster Bailey and Cecil Scott, Prince Robinson doubling on clarinet and tenor, pianist Herman Chittison, Ikey Robinson on banjo, the great tuba player Cyrus St. Clair, singer Eva Taylor, Floyd Casey on washboard, the Bingie Madison big band and Williams himself on vocals, piano and jug. Highlights of this spirited program include "You're Bound to Look like a Monkey When You Get Old," "High Society Blues," "Hot Lovin, '" "Baby, Won't You Please Come Home" and four different versions of "Shout Sister Shout."

CLARENCE WILLIAMS – 1933-1934 | The Classics Chronological Series – 871 (1996) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

The 11th CD in Classics series of recordings led by pianist-composer-singer Clarence Williams is actually one of the weaker ones due to Chick Bullock taking vocals on seven of the 23 numbers; the two contributions apiece by Dick Robertson and Little Buddy Farrior are not much better even if Williams' own verbal spots on six songs are reasonably enjoyable. With only three instrumentals, the results are less memorable than usual although there are some strong moments contributed by cornetist Ed Allen, clarinetist Cecil Scott, pianist James P. Johnson (who is not featured enough) and guitarist Roy Smeck. Recommended mostly to completists. Scott Yanow

LOUIS ARMSTRONG AND HIS ORCHESTRA – 1931-1932 | The Classics Chronological Series – 536 (1990) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

During the long cold winter of 1931-1932, Louis Armstrong stationed himself in Chicago, where he spun out the last of his OKeh recordings. This volume of vintage jazz opens with 16 of these marvelous sides. Backed by nine resilient players, the trumpeter sings on each and every track, handling light novelties and romantic ballads with relative ease. He makes "Lazy River" sound like he wrote it himself. "Chinatown" has a magnificent spoken intro and vocal by the leader, followed by what he describes as "a little argument between the saxophones and the trumpet," culminating of course in a dazzling display of Armstrong's unsurpassed virtuosity. Brimming with humorous commentary and theatrical patter, "The Lonesome Road" represents a special subgenre of sanctified church burlesques. After Armstrong asks aloud "What kind of church is this?," someone can't resist interjecting a flippant salute to "you vipers." Apparently limbered up and in the mood for conversation, Armstrong introduces his musicians with relish all throughout a fine version of "I Got Rhythm." His handling of "Kickin' the Gong Around" is less theatrical but swings more solidly than Cab Calloway's hyperventilated version. Always ready to outdo even himself, Armstrong recorded a sequel to his "Tiger Rag" with someone loudly counting off the number of choruses as he blew them. What appears to have been his last OKeh record, "Keepin' Out of Mischief Now" backed with "Lawd, You Made the Night Too Long," was recorded in Chicago on March 11, 1932, and given the serial number 41560. His next opportunity to record in front of his own band occurred in Camden, NJ, on December 8th. Armstrong was now officially working for the Victor record company. His 11-piece band included trombone legend Big Charlie Green, reedman and composer Edgar Sampson, and percussion wizard Chick Webb, who provided amazing locomotive effects on his snare drum on "Hobo, You Can't Ride This Train." Mezz Mezzrow is said to have been responsible for ringing the bells on this track. This excellent segment of the Louis Armstrong chronology ends with a four-and-a-half-minute "Medley of Armstrong Hits," with a nine-piece Victor studio band backing him every step of the way. arwulf arwulf
