Trumpet Wizzard! June 18, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Although little known today, Jabbo Smith was one of the greatest trumpet players who came to prominance in the 1920's. He was, arguably, along with Bix Beiderbecke, one of only two trumpet players of the period who didn't base their style on that of Louis Armstrong. The Rhythm Aces were a studio group who recorded for Brunswick as competion for the Armstrong Hot 5 and to listen to Jabbo's trumpet work is to hear virtuosity such as to leave one speechless. Listen, for example, to 'Jazz Battle' and 'Boston Shuffle' and you will understand why Dizzy Gillespie thought so highly of him. The excellent notes are by Michel Bastide, a trumpet player who leads the 'Hot Antic Jazz Band' in France. They recorded with Jabbo in 1982 and a first class CD resulted. This is available in France on Memories CD04 and should be more widely know.
The Retrieval issue of the 1929 recordings is essential listening; especially in John R T Davis' superb remastering. Enjoy!
