[Dixielandjazz] Other Trips On a Time Machine

[Stan Brager]

Steve;

I assume that you meant Peck Kelley's Bad Boys with Jack Teagarden and Pee
Wee Russell. That said, there is an LP issued on the Commodore label
featuring Peck Kelley with the Dick Shannon Quartet. It was recorded on June
9 and 16, 1957. Almost more interesting is the information about Peck Kelley
and his life. For your information, the catalog number of this 2-record
Commodore LP is XF2-17017. These recordings were also on the Mosaic label's
Complete Commodore release.

In addition to this LP, Lord's discography lists 2 other LPs recorded in
1951 and 1953 for the Arcadia label.

I have to agree with those who would like to hear the Goldkette band at 
it's best. If I had a time machine, though, I would have to seriously 
consider paying  attention to the bands that everybody talks about but 
almost nobody recorded: Speed Webb and Peck Kelly come to mind. Then, of 
course, there is Emmett Hardy, second only to Buddy Bolden as an 
enigmatic well-spring of jazz as we know it. Can you imagine sitting in 
on a duet between Emmett and Bix?
