otjf Yes,I knew that already but it is,nevertheless,regrettable for on some of his recording he,in my opinion, did not give of his best-which was extraordinary,as we all know.
Splendid! Three tunes here - does anyone know the titles? The 3rd one is very fine and harmonically interesting. Keppard's tone is fiery and fruity - I love it. Thanks for posting!
fantastic playlist!

Regrettably Keppard made so few recordings.Nevertheless those he did make display his superb mastery of his instrument.A delightful contribution.

@Squarerig Keppard was asked to make the VERY FIRST Jazz recording (before the ODJB) and he refused because he was afraid he could be copied....

King Keppard - how good is this!!
The KIngs Of Jazz are all hereon this website - Bunk Johnson, Buddy Bolden, Freddie Keppard, Joe Oliver and the best of them all - Louis Armstrong!
And let the debate begin - was Armstrong the greatest of all? I thinkj so, but what do you folks think?
This is a really great jazz track!!

Much maligned indeed, but no one can doubt his talent. Thanks for sharing.

Yep, King Keppard..my all time favourite !!
One know's he was excellent, you can tell by how many writers have maligned him over the decades.
I don't think there is a living Brass player who has such mastery of all registers on the Cornet, especially the low. What ferocity!!.
And what a supreme tone he has. I know he was raved about for his musical contributions to the international harvester Dance in 1930,
might be some pic's in the company yearbook.
