[Dixielandjazz] Buddy Bolden, was Armstrong-Eldridge

[robyn hardie]

HI all
The consensus of opinion seems to have been that Bolden sounded most  like Fred Keppard, sometimes rough like Wooden Joe Nicholas and in the blues sweet like Bunk Johnson. 
Cheers
Dan Hardie

John Chilton used to vist from time to time with his Swing Kings, with a front line of his trumpet and two saxes - either two tenors or alto and tenor,at this distance  I can't remember which. I saw him twice and he played NOEBY on both occasions. I was very struck by the number and when I got home worked out an approximation of it on the piano, later doing an arrangement ofmy version of it for my band - which had a front line of trumpet, alto and baritone. We played it for quite a time and included it on our one and only LP. It was only quite recently, when I bought the boxed set of the complete Hot Fives and Sevens that I discovered its origins.

I would probably have had a recorder on me when I heard it, do my transcription would have been more accurate .... if I had a smart phone I could have looked it up even while it was being played. I could have found versions on YouTube and elsewhere, The chords if not the sheet music are probably on-line somewhere ..... and if I'd mentioned it on this list there would have been a wide range of details provided by listmates much better informed than me. It seems to me that some things definitely change for the better -- although working it out the way I did was probably a lot more fun.
