HERMAN CHITTISON – 1933-1941 | The Classics Chronological Series – 690 (1993) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

This disc opens with a bang, or, to be more exact, a howl. Banjo Ikey Robinson imitates Cab Calloway's wide-open hollering -- specifically drawing upon Calloway's scream-along hit "Zaz Zuh Zaz" -- but somehow takes it to his own extremes as he wails about being "Unlucky." Robinson's piano-playing partner on July 17, 1933, identified as "Ivory" Chittison, provides a full-bodied background of smooth, low-down pulsating rhythms and sweeping arpeggios. This mingles surprisingly well with Robinson's guitar, but the tastiest part of the mix is that fearless vocal. The flip side is a real gem, one of Robinson's all-time greatest hot numbers. The melody to "My Four Reasons" sounds a little like "Clarinet Marmalade." The lyrics are boisterous, the guitar licks are hot, but again the grooviest parts of the entertainment are Robinson's frequent vocal outbursts. That man did love to cut loose and raise his voice. These two crazy tunes form a perfect appetizer leading into a full course of Herman Chittison's energetic piano solos. Recorded in Paris during the early summer of 1934, "Honeysuckle Rose" is terrifically stimulating. "Harlem Rhythm Dance" is so fast it's almost frightening. "Nagasaki" pairs off with "Honeysuckle" as well-organized stomps with all of the right stuff happening. "Stormy Weather" is brisk and muscular. It's good to hear a couple of examples of Chittison accompanying a vocalist. Arita Day sounds hipper than Ethel Waters on "Heat Wave" and works up a dramatically poignant reading of Cole Porter's epic tale of heartbreak, homicide, and lynching, "Miss Otis Regrets." Five Parisian piano solos from 1938 are refreshing and inventive, as Chittison sorts out his own style and technique from the influence of his number one role model, Art Tatum. "I'm Putting All My Eggs in One Basket" is particularly fine, and "My Own Blues" allows the artist to express himself for a couple of minutes without any discernible ties to Tin Pan Alley. Back in New York making records for Bluebird during September of 1941, the pianist served up a gorgeous pair of solos, simultaneously romantic and progressive. If Tatum's vibe is still very much a part of the Chittison style, there is just a hint of Bud Powell's advanced harmonies and lightning dexterity in "Flamingo" and "The Man I Love." arwulf arwulf

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 | The Classics Chronological Series – 845 (1995) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

The tenth CD in the Classics label's very valuable Clarence Williams series has its strong moments, although his band was starting to become somewhat predictable. Two titles feature clarinetist Albert Nicholas in a washboard-jug quintet, and six intriguing songs utilize both Herman Chittison and Willie "The Lion" Smith on piano (with Eva Taylor taking most of the vocals). But most of the other selections are by a quartet comprised of pianist Williams, cornetist Ed Allen (a terrible singer, as he shows on two songs), clarinetist Cecil Scott and the washboard of Floyd Casey. The music is fine, but not quite as special as Williams' slightly earlier recordings with more diverse and versatile bands. Still, this is worth picking up for classic jazz collectors. Scott Yanow

CLARENCE WILLIAMS – 1934 | The Classics Chronological Series – 891 (1996) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

In 1997, the Classics label released a twelfth volume in their unprecedented series devoted to the complete chronological recordings of Clarence Williams. Eighteen selections dating from a three-month segment of the year 1934 collectively feature Harlem stride pianists James P. Johnson and Willie "The Lion" Smith, cornetist Ed Allen, clarinetist Cecil Scott, guitarist Roy Smeck, banjoist Ikey Robinson, bassist Richard Fullbright, tuba technician Cyrus St. Clair, and drummer/washboard handler Floyd Casey. Vocals are by Williams, his wife Eva Taylor, Ed Allen, Ikey Robinson, and composer/comedian Clarence Todd. Tracks 11-18 are by the Alabama Jug Band, with Williams delivering substantial basslines using that old-time staple of down-home musical entertainment, a ceramic whiskey jug. Williams has been posthumously ridiculed for his vaudevillian sensibilities and hokum recordings, but the truth about this man is that he was one of the great publishers and producers of African-American music during the 1920s and '30s. Disparaging comments about his pianistic prowess are directly traceable to Willie "The Lion" Smith, one of the toughest critics who ever passed judgment upon his fellow musicians. Williams was a perfectly capable pianist and a rather shrewd and at times opportunistic businessman who produced Bessie Smith's earliest recording sessions and served as her accompanist, published Fats Waller's first important compositions, recorded comedic piano duets with James P. Johnson, and led a series of recording ensembles that included cornetists King Oliver and Louis Armstrong as well as powerhouse reedman Sidney Bechet. The recordings that Williams presided over between July 6 and October 3, 1934 are among his most sanguine and substantial, particularly the outrageous tale of "Jerry the Junker" and the gutsy "Jazz It Blues," which has a vocal refrain by the Ham and Cabbage Trio. arwulf arwulf

JABBO SMITH'S RHYTHM ACES – 1929-1938 (2006) The Classics Chronological Series – 669 | FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Although only 20 years old, trumpeter Jabbo Smith cut virtually all of his finest recordings in 1929, when he was touted as a competitor to Louis Armstrong. Smith's 19 sides with his Rhythm Aces (all of which are on this essential CD) are some of the most exciting recordings of the era. Often teamed in a quintet with Omer Simeon (on clarinet and alto), pianist Cassino Simpson, banjoist Ikey Robinson, and the tuba of Hayes Alvis (subs appear on a few numbers), Jabbo's reckless and explorative trumpet flights are often thrilling. Highlights include "Jazz Battle," "Till Times Get Better," "Ace of Rhythm," and "Band Box Stomp," but all of the performances (including Smith's trombone solo on "Lina Blues" and his occasional and effective vocals) are well worth hearing. The CD concludes with Jabbo Smith's four-song 1938 session, which is disappointingly tame. Strange as it seems, Smith was past his prime by 1930 when he was only 21. Except for some early sideman appearances and forgettable efforts in later years (plus one previously unissued Rhythm Ace side from 1929 that was unearthed in the mid-'90s by the Retrieval label), this CD essentially contains Jabbo Smith's entire legacy, although he would live until 1991.
