Sam Morgan's Jazz Band - Jazz Classics 521 (Originally Columbia 14258) (1927)

What a shame that this band recorded only 8 sides over two sessions from 1927.

Their complete output can be found on this great cd by Jazz Oracle. It contains 23 of 35 sides total that were recorded in New Orleans by black jazz bands during the 1920s.

Sam Morgan's Jazz Band - Columbia 14351 (1927)

From wikipedia...

Sam Morgan (1895–1936) was a New Orleans jazz trumpet player and bandleader.

The recordings by Sam Morgan's Jazz Band for Columbia Records in 1927 are some of the best regarded New Orleans classic jazz recordings of the decade, and continue to be influential. Sidemen in the band included brothers Isaiah Morgan on trumpet and Andrew Morgan on tenor sax. Earl Fouché played alto sax. Trombonist Jim Robinson later achieved fame working with Bunk Johnson, George Lewis], and at Preservation Hall. Robinson's cousin Sidney Brown (aka Little Jim or Jim Little) was the bassist, and later worked with George Lewis, most notably on the Climax sessions in the 1940s. George Guesnon was Morgan's banjoist from 1930 to 1935.

The "Young Morgan Band" as it was commonly called by fans of the day, was one of the most popular territory bands touring the gulf coast circuit (Galveston, Texas to Pensacola, Florida).

Jones & Collins Astoria Hot Eight - Biltmore 1001 (Originally Victor 38576) (1929)

Still waiting for their original New Orleans recordings on Victor and Bluebird to fall into my lap...so until then, this Biltmore bootleg will suffice nicely.

From wikipedia...

The Jones & Collins Astoria Hot Eight were led by cornetist Lee Collins and tenor saxophonist David Jones. They took their name from the Astoria Gardens, the dance hall room of the Astoria Hotel on Rampart Street in New Orleans where they were the house band in 1928 and 1929. The group included a number of noted New Orleans jazz musicians in its relatively short life.

The ensemble recorded only once, doing a session at the Italian Hall in New Orleans on December 15, 1929. A total of four sides were released from these sessions: Astoria Strut b/w Duet Stomp, issued on Victor Records, and Damp Weather b/w Tip Easy Blues, issued on Bluebird Records. Alternative takes of Damp Weather and Tip Easy Blues survived to appear on reissues decades later.

Wille Jackson (With Steve Lewis) - Columbia 14136 (1926)

Here we have New Orleans Willie Jackson's first release. He also recorded under the name Sonny Porter and provided vocal tracks for King Oliver and Eddie Lang.

His accompanist, Steve Lewis became the top piano player in New Orleans after Jelly Roll Morton left town and was also the pianist for Armand Piron's New Orleans Orchestra. He apparently went crazy, was committed to an insane asylum and died shortly afterwards ca. 1941.

Recorded in New Orleans on April 14, 1926.
