Review

Though not as well known as many of his contemporaries in early jazz, Johnny Dodds was widely respected by critics, fans, and other musicians as one of the greatest clarinet players of the pre-swing era. The New Orleans native had no formal training, learning his art from the ground up by playing with the innovators who coined the musical terminology of jazz. His playing evinced a warm, rich tone and the kind of rhythmic subtlety that defined greatness at the time, and he was known for his emotional, "hot" soloing. These 1927 tracks show Dodds leading a sextet that included the awesome Freddie Keppard on cornet, brother Warren "Baby" Dodds on washboard, Eddie Ellis on trombone, Jasper Taylor on drums, and either Lil Hardin Armstrong, Jimmy Blythe, or Tiny Parham on piano. --John Swenson
