FREDDIE KEPPARD AND LOUIS ARMSTRONG

[bhbpinneberg]

With great interest I read the comments issued here on this platform. The question whether it is Bailey or Bechet can be answered easily: it is Bailey on both the ROJB and the Williams side. I own both originals, i.e. Gennett and OKeh, maybe the sound of reproductions leads one into the wrong direction. By the way, the piano is different, ROJB has Lil(l) Armstrong on the chair.

I don't believe this Buster Bailey. This is Sidney Bechet. Bailey never used such a vibrato.

The singer sounds more like Alberta Hunter than Eva Taylor.

my great great uncle freddie

[ginsushark]

this is some nice music no matter what its called. Im glad that even now it can get people feeling so passionately that they start hurling insults at each other. its too bad you cant meet face to face and duke it out! that would be an epic battle! bravo!

Everybody loves my baby form 1924 by Eva Taylor with Clarence Williams' Blue Five with Louis Armstrong , Aaron Thompson trombone and Buster Bailey  soprano sax = OK 8181

@Bumblebee38 Actually, this version was released on Gennett 5594 under the name the Red Onion Jazz Babies. The vocalist on these recordings was actually Alberta Hunter, who's name was put on the records under the pseudonym Josephine Beatty. This version, along with the version you're referring to, were recorded on the same day. The Blue Five version with Eva Taylor on Okeh 8181 is pretty easy to find, while the ROJB version is VERY rare.

To think, that Freddie Keppard could have recorded Jazz two years before Nick LaRocca.

[dretety]

Keppards band was a ragtime band, they didnt play jazz.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

That's what Buddy Bolden said too.

[Bumblebee38]

What a Garbage !!!!!!!!!!!

[dretety]

Try to look at the photo of Keppards 1916 band, it features a viola, an instument that led the band thru it's repotiore of RAGTIME

[Bumblebee38]

Most bands in the late 1900 used varios tnstruments like violins see Jimmy Paolo

for instance

Keppard band did play JAZZ

saying the contrary is BULLSHIT

[dretety]

your foul langauge and poor spelling are as much an indicator of your knowledge on early jazz..

You as i, do not know what Keppards band played, but all the evidence suggests it played ragtime, led as ragtime bands were by the predominance of stringed instruments..as say in, KEPPARDS band!

Grow up you nasty little cretin.

What's the name of this song?

[kingoliver45]

Wow! i had no idea that they recorded together! what year was this recorded?

[repfed]

His brother Louis played the guitar and the tuba, so maybe the one who uploaded the video has cofused them. Anyway, I never heard of Freddie recording with Louis Armstrong either...It might be around the 20's or so... :-S
