Description
A Blues Classic from the "Queen of the Moaners," CLARA SMITH and her JAZZ TRIO in 1924:
Clara sings "FREIGHT TRAIN BLUES" and the psychologically intriguing "DONE SOLD MY SOUL TO THE DEVIL (AND MY HEART'S DONE TURNED TO STONE")
Her "Jazz Trio" are DON REDMAN and CECIL SCOTT (clarinets) and PORTER GRAINGER (piano). Redman and Scott, of course, went on to be terrific bandleaders - movers and shakers in Harlem jazz.
Original 1924 "Race" Columbia 14041-D in E- condition. Small noisy lams side B. Record is warped slightly.
*****
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.
