[Dixielandjazz] Edison Cylinders

[Ron L]

To the best of my knowledge, the ODJB did not record for Edison.   You may
have heard a Golden Gate Orchestra recording which is really the California
Ramblers.

Subject: [Dixielandjazz] Edison Cylinders

I recently ran into a guy  who has a pop music collection on plastic 
cylinders from the early 1900s.  He plays them on a well maintained  
Edison machine made in 1918.  My question is this. Were the 1917 ODJB 
recordings done on cylinders?  When did the discs come into common use. 

I was on my way to a gig downtown when I met this guy at a city-wide Art 
Walk demonstration.  I only had time to hear one tune, but what I heard 
was pretty advanced jazz-wise with well defined solos.  I just e-mailed 
him to ask for his list of  tunes - he has over 50 cylinders.
