Jazz / Continental Jazz / Big Band

New horizons in historic jazz reissuing were revealed in 2005 when Jazz Oracle came out with a double-CD compendium of recordings made for about a dozen different labels between October 1924 and February 1933 in Vienna, Paris, and Berlin, all involving bandleader Lud Gluskin (1898-1989). Andreas Schmauder, apparently one of the world's leading Gluskin authorities, was asked to paw through literally hundreds of 78 rpm platters to designate the 48 titles included in this package, which is loaded with precious photographs and fascinating information. Gluskin first appears as a drummer with Paul Gason and His Versatile Orchestra. "Ain't She Sweet?" is performed by the Playboys, a Detroit-based band that would soon morph into an expanded and more versatile orchestra under Gluskin's direction. Subsequent billings list the perpetually evolving group as Lud Gluskin and His Versatile Juniors, Lud Gluskin et Son Jazz Orchestre Lud Gluskin, "Lud" Gluskin Ambassadonians, Lud Gluskin and his Ambassadors Orchestra, Jazz-Orchester Lud Gluskin, and finally Lud Gluskin et son Orchestre, which is the name they appeared under most often when serenading patrons at the Casino de Paris. The sound of the band often brings to mind great old-time jazz heroes like the Original Memphis Five, Red Nichols, Miff Mole, Bix Beiderbecke, Frankie Trumbauer, Frank Teschmacher and Jean Goldkette, whose arrangements were in fact used by Gluskin from time to time. Material ranges from hot novelty dance music and traditional pop tunes to substantial jazz numbers like "Tiger Rag," "Milenberg Joys," "Clarinet Marmalade," W.C. Handy's "St. Louis Blues," Fats Waller's "Whiteman Stomp," and Fud Livingston's "Feelin' No Pain." Jazz Oracle continues to astonish and delight all who are fascinated with obscure jazz records from the early 20th century. This installment is particularly rewarding. tracklist: CD1 01 - Down Home Blues 02 - Steamboat Sal 03 - I Certainly Could 04 - Ain't She Sweet 05 - Tiger Rag 06 - Si Vous Connaisez Papa 07 - Feelin No Pain 08 - Miss Annabelle Lee 09 - Sunny Skies 10 - Did You Mean It 11 - Whiteman Stomp 12 - Saint Louis Blues 13 - Ten Little Miles From Town 14 - Clarinet Marmalade 15 - I Can't Give You Anything But Love 16 - You Took Advantage Of Me 17 - Clarinet Marmalade 18 - I Wanna Be Loved By You 19 - Crazy Rhythm 20 - Add A Little Wiggle 21 - What A Wonderful Wedding That Will Be 22 - Everywhere You Go 23 - Milenberg Joys 24 - Skadatin-Dee CD2 01 - Tiger Rag 02 - A Room With A View 03 - That's My Weakness Now 04 - Gipsy 05 - Stairway Of Dreams 06 - Doin The New Low Down 07 - Moanin Low 08 - I Wanna Go Places And Do Things 09 - Close Your Eyes 10 - Someone's Falling In Love 11 - It's Nice Like This 12 - Birmingham Bertha 13 - Milenberg Joys 14 - Bee-Ology 15 - C'est Mon Gigolo 16 - Oh Donna Clara 17 - Leven Thirty Saturday Night 18 - There's A Wah-Wah Gal In Agua Caliente 19 - March Of The Hoodlums 20 - Oh Mo'nah 21 - Dinah 22 - Crazy People 23 - How About You And Me 24 - Fit As A Fiddle
