BSGS98 has posted a great jazz piece by the Original Memphis Five. Jazz Me Blues was recorded in 1931, but it has the flavor of 1920's jazz, and you will recognize some of the players in the slide show.
Notes from BSGS98:
Personnel:
Phil Napoleon - trumpet
Jimmy Dorsey - clarinet
Tommy Dorsey - trombone
Frank Signorelli - piano
Ted Napoleon - drums
The Original Memphis Five under the leadership of Phil Napoleon made their first recordings in 1922. The band also included Miff Mole, Jimmy Lytell, Frank Signorelli and Jack Roth. The personnel changed frequently over the years and at various times included Loring McMurry, Manny Klein, Charlie Panelli, Ray Kitchingman (was the sixth for a while on banjo), John Cali, James Griffith, Red Nichols, Dick Johnson, Ray Bauduc, Louis Katzman, Elmer Schobel, Joe Tarto, George Bohn, Hoagy Carmichael, Jimmy Dorsey, Tommy Dorsey and Ted Napoleon (Phil's brother). Jazz Me Blues (1931) was part of the last recording session for the Original Memphis Five.
