An early recording by the Original Indiana Five when it was led by Johnny Sylvester. Here, the OI5 give us their take on “Tin Roof Blues”, a tune made famous by the New Orleans Rhythm Kings earlier that year. (And if you haven’t heard it, you can hear that recording here: https://youtu.be/V7VbDFw5Udk )
Charlie Panelli takes a trombone solo at 0:55, then hands it to Nick Vitalo for a clarinet solo at 1:18. Sylvester gives us a trumpet solo at 2:07.
If you own a copy of Brian Rust’s “Jazz and Ragtime Records” 6th ed – make a note – this record appears listed there as Pathé Actuelle 036029 rather than the correct catalog number shown here (036019).
Recorded in New York City on November 6, 1923.
Released as Pathé Actuelle 036019.
