"Tiny" Parham & His Musicians - Victor 28009 (1928)
From wikipedia...
Hartzell Strathdene "Tiny" Parham (February 25,
1900– April 4, 1943) was a Canadian-born American jazz bandleader and pianist
of African-American descent.
Parham was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada but grew up in
Kansas City. He worked as a pianist at The Eblon Theatre being mentored by the
ragtime pianist and composer James Scott, and later touring with territory
bands in the Southwestern United States before moving to Chicago in 1926. He is
best remembered for the recordings he made in Chicago between 1927 and 1930, as
an accompanist for Johnny Dodds and several female blues singers as well as
with his own band. Most of the musicians Parham played with are not well known
in their own right, though cornetist Punch Miller, banjoist Papa Charlie
Jackson, saxophone player Junie Cobb and bassist Milt Hinton are exceptions.
His entire recorded output for Victor are highly collected
and appreciated as prime examples of late 1920s jazz. His style of jazz was
comparable to the sophisticated style of Jelly Roll Morton. Parham favored the
violin and a number of his records have a surprisingly sophisticated violin
solos, along with the typical upfront tuba, horns and reeds. Parham wrote most,
if not all of his material.
After 1930 Parham found work in theater houses, especially
as an organist; his last recordings were made in 1940. His entire recorded
output fits on two compact discs.
