Jenkins Orphanage Band - 1928
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7QUH_1D4Ys
"The Jenkins Orphanage Band of Charleston has been recognized as one of the country's important Jazz 'incubators'. This Fox Movietone News film is the earliest extant sound recording of the band. Brass and percussion ensemble composed of band members performing on sidewalk. Close ups of the youthful musicians playing their instruments. Shots of boys and girls dancing in front of band."
Jazztodon artist of the week: Louis Dumaine! The trumpeter was a member of the Tuxedo Brass Band in the 1920s, plus the Henry Allen Brass Band and the Eagle Brass Band. In 1927, he recorded famous tracks with his βJazzola Eight.β In the 1930s, he headed up brass bands like the WPA band in 1935 and the ERA Orchestra 1936.

Alphonse Picou High Society
http://www.20sjazz.com/videos/alphonse-picou/high-society-.html
> Alphonse Picou was born
into a middleclass Creole
family in New Orleans on
today's date in 1878.
As a clarinetist who played
a wide variety of music with
groups ranging from classical
orchestras to dance bands he
would become a celebrated
figure who was key to early
jazz development.
Mama told me there'd be days like this: here's a fan video from yesterday's busk in #trinitybellwoodspark #toronto
Perfect weather, such a lovely audience (would love to take them home with us!) and even the bylaw officers were amicableΒΉ!

ΒΉ it is apparently illegal to busk in parks. Playing music is fine, unamplified, but cases must be closed. Now if a stranger OPENS it a bit and slyly pops in some cashβ¦
sure my corpse is blue and smelly, and my kid's an orphan, but don't feel bad for us: I just died and went to heaven when I found

Gabe'n'Gary - Summertime (2023)

A #Soundcloud from a while ago, and yeah, it's that time of year when I really miss the energy. This one was recorded at the Cameron House in #Toronto last summer, it takes a few bars to get going, but where else are you going to find any Jelly Roll on a Fediverse Saturday Night?

Here's a familiar tune from #television, an old closing theme, lyrics by Carroll O'Connor, recorded on a lazy summer back patio.
Mid-afternoon #music:
The Versatile Four was an American string band that didn't have much luck at home, settling in London in the 1910s and 20s, performing and recording in Britain and Europe.
They cut this number in February 1916 for HMV. The ODJB didn't show up at Victor until a year later. Is it #EarlyJazz before #jazz had a name? Whether it is or not, they really step on the gas. A lot to love.
"How's that?"
Evening #Music:
From 1917, a gentle-but-sprited counterpoint to the insistent drive of the ODJB, with Wilbur Sweatman's clarinet in front of an all-saxophone backing band....and no drums, which definitely feels like a statement this early in the history of recorded jazz.

"Despite the stereotypes these films are important as they were made with black actors for black audiences (thus 'race films'). Very few of these exist (Preer made dozens of films, but only three are known to have survived.) These were some of the first race talkies ever."
