Description

HERE ARE the incomparable LOUISIANA SUGAR BABES - a very unlikely jazz quartet, featuring THOMAS "FATS" WALLER, pipe organ; JAMES P. JOHNSON, piano; GARVIN BUSHELL, clarinet and oboe; and JABBO SMITH, trumpet. They play these equally unlikely numbers, "THOU SWELL" and "PERSIAN RUG," which inclines us to suppose that they're pulling our collective leg.  But NO! This and their other Victor release, "'Sippi," and "Willow Tree," are hot jazz as satisfying and downright witty as anybody's, if not more so! 


This original 1928 "Scroll" Victor 21346 is in glossy EE+ condition. 


PHOTOS: 1) "Fats" Waller, 2) James P. Johnson, 3) Jabbo Smith, 4) Garvin Bushell. 


***** 

 

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.

 

An Unsolicited Testimonial!: "Superbatone is one of the coolest people on eBay - seriously. An excellent source for music, knowledge, and whimsy, and an asset to the community who cares about music and its preservation. It goes without saying that he is an expert in all facets surrounding 78’s and their content."

 

And another:  “Descriptions as passionate and informative as superbatone’s are commensurate with what you receive: beautiful records, fast service - and even his writing on the shipping box is interesting, artistic, and indicative of the care taken for these records and to transport them safely.”
