Description
Here is a record by the band that made the noise heard 'round the world: THE ORIGINAL DIXIELAND JAZZ BAND. This quintet made the first jazz record, and is squarely responsible for creating the widespread public awareness of jazz in 1917. Their influence was felt by musicians and the public, from New Orleans to Chicago to New York and beyond.
This is one of their iconic records, "BLUIN' THE BLUES" and "SENSATION RAG." In the 1920s alone, "Sensation" was covered by Red Nichols, Bix Beiderbecke, Benny Goodman, Fletcher Henderson and Joe Venuti.
I love this picture of the band, two of whose members are standing THROUGH the grand piano!
This original 1918 "Bat Wing" Victor 18483 is in lovely E condition. Hardly any wear, slight label damage on "Sensation."
*****
These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
