Doctor Jazz - George Lewis


Jazz may be having a bit of a revival right now but, as far as I can tell, the Trad stuff couldn't be less fashionable. I could be wrong, there may some kind of super cool underground Trad Jazz scene in Hoxton but I doubt it. That's a shame when it sounds at good as this, a mere 71 years after it was recorded (and almost 30 years after it was written by King Oliver). Picked up this CD at the weekend along with a bunch of even older stuff. Jelly Roll Morton anyone? No? Oh well, just me then.
