An Archive of Early Jazz on 78 RPM

“Papa Blues” – Dixie Daisies (1923)

The final transfer of a record I included in a recent test of stylii for 78 rpm playback:

I chose this one to test as it was in rougher shape with a lot of scratches. You can hear how it cleaned up. Not too shabby!

An interesting Max Kortlander composition with some nice trumpet and alto sax.

If anyone has personnel ideas, let me know!

Recorded in New York City in April, 1923.
Released as Cameo 348.
