Hello Bill,
Thanks for pointing this out. I was aware of some of these recordings. Love the Sam Morgan stuff. Some of the material I heard just once on the radio, some incredible 25 years ago, but I don't have any rememberance how it actually sounded.
Any "Spanish" or maybe better called "latin" influences on those tracks?
Kind regards,
Bert

Most of what we call New Orleans Jazz today was recorded in places like Camden, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles (Kid Ory's first records) So distance wise, certainly for those times, pretty much removed from the source...
