HOT AND SWEET October 30, 2008
Isham Jones began recording for Brunswick in mid-1920 with his Rainbo (sic) Orchestra, and there's not much about the early titles to give any indication of joys to come. Things began to change a year later, when a young Louis Panico joined on cornet (the brass had been confined previously to a trombone!). What had begun as a sweet dance band now contained a rising star, who began to attract the attention of jazzmen like Louis Armstrong, and Bix Beiderbecke who would escape from Lake Academy to listen and sit in.
Timeless has selected some of the hotter sides on which the reputation of the Jones band was built, including the later sides after Panico was lured away by Edgar Benson. He was replaced by Frank Quartell, who also knew Bix, and was himself no mean trumpeter, and around the same time Roy Bargy came in on piano.
These sides trace the development of Jones' early band, and in the excellent liner note Ate van Delden argues that late 1925, when the band moved from Chicago to New York, marked something of a watershed in that thereafter the band produced little in the way of jazz until the early 1930s. Which sweeping assertion needs to be countered, because in fact for whatever reason between 1926 and 1931 the band recorded comparatively few sides at all.
