Buster Bailey - All About Memphis

Buster Bailey was one of the top clarinetists to emerge during the 1920s but he led relatively few sessions throughout his long career. This LP features Bailey with a quartet (along with pianist Red Richards, bassist Gene Ramey and drummer Jimmie Crawford) and, with the horns of trumpeter Herman Autrey, trombonist Vic Dickenson and altoist Hilton Jefferson added, a septet. In addition to W.C. Handy tunes, the other five songs are Bailey originals that mix together swing and the flavor of New Orleans jazz. It's a fine outing for the classic clarinetist. - Scott Yanow / AMG

    Looking forward to this upgrade. Thanks Pops!

    Gabriel Syme. Have you heard of the man who was Thursday?

    You should have heard of Buster though: a star of Fletcher Henderson's Orch and John Kirby Sextet.
