Comment:
these 35 minutes introduce
you to the beginning of the 20
th
century music to spend time with such artists as orchestras as Black
Face Eddie Ross, Cal Stewart, Bill Murray, Arhtur Collins and Byron
G. Harlan, Clyde Doerr and His Orchestra, Gene Green, Golden and
Heins, James I. Lent, Joe Hayman, Mamie Smith and her Jazz Hounds,
M.J. OConnell,
Six Brown Brothers, and The Columbia Orchestra. It is entertaining,
lively and funny where jazz/and
dixieland and big band-based
compositions and orchestrations are variegated with more spoken word
numbers. These tracks come from a time span between 1901 to 1922.
Some of them are truly funny
in their vehement oratory – for instance, listen to Joe Hayman`s
Cohen at the Real Estate
Office. It
is a welcome interlude to enjoy such sort of music while you
are intended to rest from
contemporary sophisticated (experimental) music. Furthermore,
today it is popular to take samples from historic and oldie music to
either compose something truly offbeat or create a haunting
atmosphere something like being created by Leyland Kirby aka The
Caretaker. It is just
a little notch
in the series of Antique Phonograph Music Program by
WFMU at Free Music Archive.
