Description

The Chicago Footwarmers – My Baby / Oriental Man
Okeh 8548

Recorded in Chicgao, 1927
Graded V (Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive).


10" 78 RPM Shellac Record

The Chicago Footwarmers was Okeh’s name given to the same musicians who lined up as the Dixieland Thumpers on two occasions for Paramount, the second one shortly after this Okeh date and which produced two more takes of “Oriental Man”.  Both items were popular and recorded several times with Johnny Dodds playing  on most of them.

Baby Dodds washboard is a dominant feature on good copies and is still heard to good effect on both sides.  The  Jimmy Blythe/Johnny Dodds combo works well again.  Natty Dominique makes “Oriental Man” his own, completing this quartet. 

The label is worn and marked but it plays complete and well at V.

I will regularly be listing Blues and Jazz 78's  so please keep checking back


Please note that my postage rate for 78's reflects the additional costs involved of purchasing a specific sized box and using additional packaging materials.  Combined shipping rates are available. 

I will always endeavor to send out 78 Record orders within 2 working days.  However, due to the extra time spent packaging them and only be limited to carrying two boxes a time to the Post Office, I have increased the Handling Time to 4 working days.
