Shiraz Socialist (Free subscription) | 08/29/2009
I missed the anniversary of jazz violinist and legendary practical joker Joe Venuti’s death (14 Aug 1978), and we haven’t quite reached the anniversary of his birth (16 Sept 1903), so here’s a little in-between tribute: an all-too-brief colour feature of him and his childhood friend, fellow Italian-American and musical partner, guitarist Eddie Lang in 1929: … … now you...

THREE PODS OF PEPPER, July 10, 2009
Jazz Lives (Free subscription) | 08/11/2009
I’ve posted the second half of this performance, where the Three Pods of Pepper were joined by Bent Persson, but here are the Pods in their original form. A collection of C-melody saxophone, clarinet, bass saxophone, two banjos, ukulele, and guitar might sound like the inventory of a dealer of moderately-antique instruments, but the Three Pods of [...]

Chewing Pine (Free subscription) | 06/20/2009
I think, at this point, I like Eddie Lang a bit more than Django. Sacrilege, I know. Lang, though, occasionally performed under different names and worked with Lonnie Johnson on and off again. That last guy might be as talented as the two older folks – he sang too. Bonus.

Here's Lonnie Johnson playing some blues on a European tour - possibly Manchester - in the early Sixties: What stands out are those lovely single-string runs he fits in between lines, and the exceptional solo. He sings pretty well too,...
