BILL GAITHER — Complete Recorded Works In Chronological Order Volume 3 · 1938-1939 | DOCD-5253 (1994) RM | FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Of the five installments in Document's complete recordings of Bill Gaither, volume three's 22 selections are the most instrumentally diverse. According to the liner notes by Louisville, KY historian Pen Bogert, the addition of an unidentified alto saxophonist on seven titles recorded at the session that took place in New York City on June 23, 1938 might have been suggested by a producer at Decca Records. By this time, Gaither, a friend and proud follower of Leroy Carr, had also expanded his guitar technique to combine the initial Scrapper Blackwell influence with that of Lonnie Johnson. On June 24, Gaither's Indianapolis-based colleague Honey Hill cut his only known piano solos, a tidy "Boogie Woogie" and a swinging set of variations that he called "Set ‘Em." Five days later, Gaither made his only recordings with a pianist other than Hill, anchored by a drummer and with someone else playing the guitar while he sang. According to the enclosed discography, it is possible that the trio backing him on this date consisted of pianist Lil Armstrong, guitarist Teddy Bunn, and drummer O'Neil Spencer. Whoever they were, this little group (and the aforementioned saxophonist) provided Bill Gaither with the most jazz-inflected accompaniments of his entire career. arwulf arwulf

PEETIE WHEATSTRAW — Complete Recorded Works In Chronological Order Volume 6 · 1938- 1940 | DOCD-5246 (1994) RM | FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Vol. 6 in the complete works of Peetie Wheatstraw as reissued by Document covers a timeline from October 1938 to April 1940, opening with the last three recordings on which he ever played piano and following his progress through a fine swing-inflected session that took place in New York with pianist Sammy Price, guitarist Teddy Bunn, and drummer O'Neil Spencer; a real Chicago blues outing with guitarist Lonnie Johnson and harmonica handler Rhythm Willie Hood, and the first five titles from a phenomenally satisfying date featuring three of New York's greatest jazz musicians: trumpeter Jonah Jones, pianist Lil Hardin Armstrong, and drummer Big Sid Catlett. While Peetie had previously made records that ventured into jazz territory (see "Throw Me in the Alley" with trombonist Ike Rodgers on Vol. 2), interacting with musicians of this caliber was a fresh development and hearing him in this company is a treat not to be missed. Note that Sam Price dutifully played Wheatstraw's signature intro on the first version of "Possum Den Blues," then abandoned it on take two and never looked back. Why did Peetie cease playing piano for keeps on his own records in 1939? According to an informed theory advanced by his biographer Paul Garon, Peetie's relations with the musicians' union might have deteriorated to the point where he was permitted to sing in a recording studio but not to play any instruments. In any case, what you get here is an excellent sampler of Peetie Wheatstraw's later work that taps into four decidedly different sessions, including the only date he ever shared with a jazz trumpeter. "I Want Some Sea Food" was partly inspired by Fats Waller's recording of "Hold Tight (Want Some Seafood Mama)," which was cut about nine months earlier. Peetie's tune references vaginal pungency even more directly than his 1936 recording (see Vol. 3) of "The First Shall Be Last and the Last Shall Be First," which contains a reference to limburger cheese. arwulf arwulf

PEETIE WHEATSTRAW — Complete Recorded Works In Chronological Order Volume 7 · 1940- 1941 | DOCD-5247 (1994) RM | FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Volume seven in Document's complete Peetie Wheatstraw chronology contains his last 23 recordings which were made in New York and Chicago during the years 1940 and 1941. Instrumentally, this album is similar to volume six in that Wheatstraw is backed by blues and jazz musicians who deliver a more varied series of performances, breaking what some may regard as the textural and melodic predictability of his many previous recordings. Peetie's accompanists include pianists Lil Hardin Armstrong and Jack Dupree, trumpeter Jonah Jones, drummer O'Neil Spencer, blues harpist Robert Lee McCoy, and an unidentified tenor saxophonist on the "Old Organ Blues," the eerily titled "Hearse Man Blues," and "Bring Me Flowers While I'm Living." Jones' trumpet obligato is at times arrestingly beautiful, and these laid-back recordings hint at where Peetie was headed as an artist. He could have done very well in the postwar era, easing into what the industry began calling rhythm & blues, and very likely becoming a hero of early rock & roll. His sudden death, brought on by reckless driving and the legalized liquor he so emphatically prized over prohibition hooch, was a terrible tragedy for his family, his friends, and posterity. Peetie and his wife lived at 468A North Third Street in East St. Louis. Horrifically, the car crash that took his life occurred less than a block away from home, and his wife witnessed the accident without at first realizing that he had been in the car. It was Sunday, December 21, 1941, and Peetie was celebrating his 39th birthday. Intending to track down some good liquor, he piled into a Buick for a joyride with his friends Will Rainey, Ronnie Self, and Big Joe Williams, after inviting Teddy Darby along for the ride with the words "C'mon, let's go blow this Buick out." Darby declined the offer and they drove off in search of booze. A little later, Joe (who according to his own recollection was inebriated and getting "evil") stumbled out of the Buick to catch a streetcar to his home in St. Louis. Glancing through the window of the Buick he saw Peetie sitting in the back seat, smiling and strumming his guitar. What happened next is a tragically over-the-top drunk driving story. It was 11:30 A.M. and the rolling party was heading back home. Attempting at high speed to round a curve in Third Street near Illinois Avenue, whoever was behind the wheel lost control as the Buick careened up an embankment and smack into the back end of an immobile Louisville & Nashville Railroad freight train with such force that ten cars moved 25 feet. All three men were thrown from the car, Rainey and Ronnie were killed instantly, and Peetie died in a hospital nearly five hours later. This story differs from the widely circulated legend of a daredevil racing to beat a locomotive at a crossing, but the results were the same. At the time of his death, Wheatstraw was one of Decca's best-selling blues artists, still considered worthy competition for Bluebird's star, singing pianist Walter Davis. The range of Peetie's influence was profound and included Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Big Joe Williams, Georgia Slim, B.B. King, and most emphatically, James Sherrill, aka Peanut the Kidnapper. Artists whose billing included references to Wheatstraw were Floyd "Dipper Boy" Council ("The Devil's Daddy-In-Law"); Jimmie Gordon ("Peetie Wheatstraw's Brother"); Robert Lee McCoy ("Peetie's Boy"), and Harmon Ray, billed either as Herman "Peetie Wheatstraw" Ray or "Peetie Wheatstraw's Buddy." The Wheatstraw legend refuses to die, and as his records continue to be reissued, no label has come close to honoring this artist so thoroughly as Document has with its seven-volume set of his complete recorded works in chronological order. arwulf arwulf

FRANKIE "Half-Pint" JAXON — Complete Recorded Works In Chronological Order Volume 3 · 1937-1940 (1994) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

After cutting records with the Harlem Hamfats in Chicago during the years 1937 and 1938, Frankie "Half Pint" Jaxon made his final recordings in New York City in 1939 and 1940 with bands that included trumpeters Jonah Jones and Henry "Red" Allen, Ellingtonians Barney Bigard and Wellman Braud, and veteran pianist Lil Hardin Armstrong. Although Half Pint's old-time sense of humor is fully present with songs like "They Put the Big Britches on Me," "Take Off Them Hips," "Turn Over," "Let Me Ride Your Train," "You Know Jam Don't Shake," and "You Can't Put That Monkey on My Back," he came across more smoothly backed by some of the Apple's best instrumentalists playing Harlem-styled swing. The highly sexualized "She Loves So Good" is an update of a profoundly lewd and libidinous original that Half Pint recorded a few years earlier with Tampa Red's Hokum Jug Band, along with a steamily erotic version of Leroy Carr's "How Long, How Long Blues." The third and last volume in Document's chronological history of Frankie Jaxon also contains a boogie-woogie adaptation of Half Pint's theme song, "Fan It," which was fast becoming a hit for artists as diverse as Woody Herman and Bill Boyd's Cowboy Ramblers. Jaxon is said to have quit performing in 1941, whereupon he secured a steady job as a United States government worker in the Pentagon. Transferred to Los Angeles in 1944, he either died there shortly afterwards or survived all the way into 1970, depending upon which biographical sources you wish to believe. When in 1994 Document reissued no less than 69 recordings by this amazing entertainer, few people realized what a precious gift had been bestowed upon an unsuspecting public. Watch out for Half Pint, this little guy is dynamite. His sense of humor and passionate delivery is likely to grow on you. arwulf arwulf
