I've often wondered just what it must have sounded like the day the ODJB was first heard in England.Imagine the genteel drawing room with its Victrola for playing the new fangled 78s of ballad singers like John McCormack,Peter Dawson or Dame Clara Butt.Suddenly on goes a 78 by a new American band who the audience think is going to be some brass band playing a March.
The needle hits the record and the Sound of Hell opens up!!!
Yes it was Livery Stable Blues complete with farmyard impressions and what to the audience sounded like hideously discordant music or maybe the phonograph had broken down!
Shortly after the ODJB appeared in England to support a comedian called George Robey who is alleged to have said "either they go or I go"!
After this event though the floodgates opened and a mighty lot of black jazz appeared from the likes of Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton.
The ODJB had begun a tradition which still exists:the way the white man takes black music and is more succesful with it.
There was though a long way to go-jazz had to be watered down in order to become commercial and acceptable and again it was white men who did it-Benny Goodman had actually purchased arrangements from some black musician and launched his own career.However Goodman was the first to employ blacks in his bands eg Lionel Hampton
The ODJB music was still hard going for some in the 60s when the first reissues began because acoustic recordings were alien.However the band had recorded electrically in the 30s.
These recordings are now Historic-the first jazz records. And being transferred onto CD with extra tracks stresses just how important when all musics are acceptable to people.
Yet the first ODJB things could still clear the supermarket!
