before 1959

A jazz legend and the heavyweight of the tenor saxophone, the first to use the instrument as a serious means of expression.

Coleman Hawkins 

Blue Moments by Connie's Inn Orchestra

Someday, Sweetheart by Hawkins Orchestra

from Selected Sessions (1931-1934)

An operatic tenor who broke the color barrier in one of Cuba's most prestigious orchestras, and a musical ambassador to the United States and Europe, Antonio Machín was a pivotal figure in the history of Cuban music who is not always remembered as such. 

Antonio Machín 

Mujer

Rumba Tambah

from Vol. 2 - 1932-1933

The salient feature of Machín's early life was that his ambition to sing opera was frustrated by that fact that he was born a poor mulatto in Cuba at the turn of the century. There is an operatic sensibility in his best performances -- El Manisero, Lamento Esclavo, Blanca Rosa -- that makes one wonder how he would have handled Verdi. In any case, in 1926 Machín made his way to Havana from Sagua La Grande, his birthplace on the northern part of the island, determined to become a singer. He soon became a featured vocalist at the Casino Nacional of Havana, the first singer of color ever to do so...

Sibling trio whose sophisticated brand of close, jazzy harmony coupled with bluesy inflections made them stars of the 1930s.

Boswell Sisters 

Wha'd Ja Do to Me? (Milton Ager)

Roll On, Mississippi, Roll On (James McCaffry / Dave Ringle / Eugene West)

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (Harold Arlen / Ted Koehler)

from The Boswell Sisters Collection, Vol. 1: 1931-1932 [Collectors']

Most vocal groups that attempt to sing jazz instead end up in the genre of middle-of-road pop music. The Boswell Sisters (comprised of Connee, Vet, and Martha) were a strong exception, always swinging and, by changing tempos and keys frequently while including some other surprises, performing creative jazz of the early '30s.... With a supporting cast frequently including trumpeters Bunny Berigan and Manny Klein, trombonist Tommy Dorsey, and clarinetist Jimmy Dorsey (all of whom receive a generous amount of solo space), the sisters are heard at their best throughout this consistently exciting set....

Next to nothing is known about barrelhouse pianist Charlie Spand -- the 33 scattered tracks which comprise his recorded legacy are virtually the only concrete proof that he even existed... However, Spand first made a name for himself as a product of the fecund Detroit boogie-woogie scene of the 1920s; between 1929 and 1931, he cut at least 25 tracks for the Paramount label, duetting with Blind Blake on a rendition of "Moanin' the Blues." 

Charlie Spand 

Soon This Morning Blues (Charlie Spand)

Hastings St. (Charlie Spand) with Blind Blake

Moanin' the Blues with Blind Blake

from The Complete Paramounts (1929-1931)

Document's The Complete Paramounts (1929-1931) is an invaluable Charlie Spand anthology, reissuing all of the pianist's early sides for Paramount. Classic performances include "Got to Have My Sweetbread," "Soon This Morning Blues," "Hastings Street," and his seminal duet with Blind Blake on "Moanin' the Blues."... the long running time, chronological sequencing, and poor fidelity, make it hard to digest. The more serious, intellectual blues listener will find all these factors to be positive...

The most important and influential musician in jazz history, and one of the leading singers and entertainers from the 1920s through the '50s.

Louis Armstrong & His Orchestra

Mahogany Hall Stomp (Spencer Williams)

Rockin' Chair (Hoagy Carmichael)

Song of the Islands (Charles E. King)

from New York Days 1929-1930

...Four days later, Condon was in a different studio with a band led by Panamanian pianist Luis Russell. This ten-piece orchestra was identified on record as Louis Armstrong's Savoy Ballroom Five. Their "Mahogany Hall Stomp" perfectly embodies both the leader's personality and jazz itself at the end of the 1920s. The Armstrong chronology jumps to July of 1929 with four beautiful Fats Waller melodies and into September with a string of pretty tunes that seem to anticipate popular taste during the 1930s... Hoagy Carmichael sat in on December 13th to assist Armstrong in singing "Rockin' Chair." On January 24, 1930, the era of sweet bands seems to have officially opened with "Song of the Islands," garnished with three violins and vibraphone played by Paul Barbarin while the band's valet sat in on the drums...

The Charleston Chasers was a studio recording ensemble that recorded music on Columbia Records between 1925 and 1931

The Charleston Chasers 

Sugar Foot Strut

My Melancholy Baby

from Mississippi Mud (Original Recordings New York 1927 -1929)

A rarity among country bluesmen in that he did not play an instrument on any of his records. He made over 30 records for OKeh and Vocalion (1927-1934).

Texas Alexander

Range in My Kitchen Blues

Section Gang Blues (Texas Alexander)

Mama, I Heard You Brought It Right Back Home

from Vol. 1 (1927-28)

Texas Alexander, Vol. 1 (1927) is the first installment of Document's multi-volume series of his complete recorded works. The first disc contains many of his classics, including a number of recordings with Lonnie Johnson that rank among his very best work.

The Broadway Band 

Yoo-Hoo

Roaming

You Can't Sting a Nigger in the Same Place Twice 

from Black Europe, Vol. 15: The First Comprehensive Documentation of the Sounds of Black People in Europe Pre-1927

One of the early classic blues singers, Rosa Henderson (no relation to Fletcher or Horace Henderson) first began singing professionally in 1913 with her uncle's carnival troupe.

Rosa Henderson 

Hard Hearted Hannah (Rosa Henderson)

The Basement Blues (Rosa Henderson)

Undertaker's Blues (Rosa Henderson)

from Rosa Henderson Vol. 3 (1924-1926)

The strongest of the four Document CDs that reissue the entire output of 1920s classic blues singer Rosa Henderson, this set matches the spirited vocalist with the Choo Choo Jazzers, the Kansas City Five, or a trio known as the Three Jolly Miners or the Three Hot Eskimos, including such sidemen as cornetists/trumepters Rex Stewart, Louis Metcalf, and Bubber Miley plus pianist Cliff Jackson...  This is the Rosa Henderson CD to get.

Fletcher Henderson was very important to early jazz as leader of the first great jazz big band, as an arranger and composer in the 1930s, and as a masterful talent scout. 

A jazz pioneer, Louis Armstrong was the first important soloist to emerge in jazz, and he became the most influential musician in the music's history. 

Fletcher Henderson, Louis Armstrong 

Money Blues

Shanghai Shuffle

Carolina Stomp

from Fletcher Henderson and Louis Armstrong 1924-1925

The Georgians were a jazz and dance band formed in 1921 and led by trumpeter Frank Guarente.

The Georgiana Blues 

Oh, Gee Georgie Eddie Cantor

Hula Lou Dolly Kay

Savannah / The Georgiana Blues

from Savannah / The Georgiana Blues (The Columbia Recordings, New York 1924)

Osvaldo Fresedo (1897 - 1984), nicknamed El pibe de La Paternal ("the kid from La Paternal") was an Argentine songwriter and director of a tango orchestra. He had the longest recording career in tango, from 1925 to 1980

Orquesta Típica Osvaldo Fresedo 

Nueva York - Osvaldo Fresedo

Sangre azul - Orquesta Típica Osvaldo Fresedo

L'adivina - Orquesta Típica Osvaldo Fresedo

from Sangre azul (1920 - 1923)
