Description
Discover a piece of jazz history with this vintage 78 RPM record by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, featuring the iconic "Barnyard Blues (Livery Stable Blues)" and "Tiger Rag." Released in 1923 on the legendary Okeh label, catalog number 4841, this shellac single captures the vibrant energy of early Dixieland jazz. These tracks are seminal recordings by one of the first jazz bands to ever record, making them highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of early American music.
"Barnyard Blues" (also known as "Livery Stable Blues") is renowned for its innovative animalistic sound effects, a hallmark of early jazz. The flip side, "Tiger Rag," is another foundational jazz standard, showcasing the band's spirited improvisation and syncopated rhythms. Both tracks are credited to D. J. La Rocca, a key figure in the band's formation and sound. This record, produced by the General Phonograph Corporation, represents a pivotal moment in music, offering a direct link to the origins of recorded jazz and the Fox Trot dance craze of the era.
