Description

78 RPM RECORD (ACTUALLY 80 RPM) - EDISON 51253 BY ERNEST STEVENS' DANCE ORCHESTRA (INCLUDING RED NICHOLS ON CORNET) PLAYING "WHEN YOU WALKED OUT SOMEONE ELSE WALKED RIGHT IN" WRITTEN BY IRVING BERLIN.  THE OTHER SIDE IS "LOVE TALES" BY KAPLAN'S MELODISTS.  THE STEVENS RECORDING (RECORDED SEPTEMBER 24, 1923)  IS UNIQUE BECAUSE IS THE FIRST TIME THAT RED NICHOLS APPEARS AS A SOLOIST ON AN ISSUED RECORD (THE 1922 SIDES BY THE SYNCOPATED FIVE WERE NEVER ISSUED TO THE PUBLIC, ONLY TO MEMBERS OF THE BAND) AND PLAYS A 24 BAR SOLO!!  RED WAS ONLY 18 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME.  THE JAZZY NUMBER ALSO INCLUDES CHUCK CAMPBELL ON TROMBONE AND DUSTY RHODES AT THE DRUMS.  STEVENS IS ON PIANO AND HIS REGULAR REED MAN FRANK CRUM PLAYS CLARINET AND ALTO SAX.  THE MASTER NUMBER IS 9175A.  THE OTHER SIDE IS BY KAPLAN'S MELODISTS, DIRECTED BY DAVE KAPLAN AT THE PIANO AND WAS RECORDED SEPTEMBER OF 1923 AND THE MASTER NUMBER IS 9184A.  THE STEVENS NUMBER IS NOT LISTED IN MY JAZZ DISCOGRAPHY.  THE DISC LOOKS A LITTLE ROUGH BUT PLAYS VERY WELL (ABOUT "E" CONDITION) WITH AN LP STYLUS IN VERTICAL MODE.  THERE ARE SOME RIM FLAKES BUT THEY ARE WELL AWAY FROM THE PLAYING GROOVES.  STARTING BID IS $49.99.  PLEASE SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE EARLY JAZZ.
