One of the rarest and most authentic compilations of early jazz ever pressed to vinyl. This 1923 session brings together King Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Johnny Dodds and the original Creole Jazz Band in their prime — rough, brassy, unmistakably alive.

Digitized from a rare Japanese LP reissue (OR-8068) and gently remastered by Velvet Syncopation to preserve warmth, texture and vintage atmosphere.
