CARELESS LOVE BLUES by George Lewis and his New Orleans Stompers

[FuzzysTradJazz]

Tom Bethell's book, "George Lewis/A Jazzman From New Orleans" - refers to this recording: Tom quotes Bill Russell (who cut this record), "When Careless Love was played in Lewis's home Sunday eve Mrs. Lewis and her sister immediately said that it sounded just like Chris Kelly and was the muted solo he always took." (Referring to Kid Howard's trumpet playing here.)

I rank Tom Bethell's book right up there with Gunther Schuller's "Early Jazz" - I feel both are great jazz history books.

I remeber where this group came from. About 3 years ago, I went to a sale that advertised 78 ropm records. Got there, went into the basement and saw a few guys looking at small stacks of records. Then I saw a couple guys coming from around the corner with knotted white plastic bags with 30-40 records each. Walked around the corner and there was a roomful of these bags plus a ton of 12" albums. Got as many as I could carry (175 or so) went upstairs and they charged me $40 for the 2 boxes.

What?

A sub label of Blue Note? And 12 inch to boot?

Man, I've got to dig back in.
