King Oliver and his Creole Jazz Band-Snake Rag

[MrJimmienoone]

It's a pity that early recording technique limited records to roughly 3 minutes. Imagine these guys improvising for 15 or 20 minutes on such a tune (which they actually did, acc. to Satch).

Probably the best "pure" New Orleans style Jazz band ever to be recorded! Such a classic combo of musicians, and such a tight, yet utterly free and effortless sound at the same time, although, nothing they're playing is effortless! You can't beat these early Jazz players, soooo epically groundbreaking and original, yet rooted so heavily in the past! I think it's awesome!

Thanks for a GREAT piece of music here, my channel hopes to promote music of the past. I'm building an ever-expanding music history channel with over 500 playlists so far. My lists feature most genres & cover the globe. 111 lists let you hear the music of any year since 1900 like you've stepped back in time.

Added this to my playlist for 1923, thanks ! ! !
