 <\/p>\n

Here’s a hard-to-find record from the Edward Michell<\/a> collection featuring two excellent examples of New Orleans-style jazz (which would later be commonly referred to as “Dixieland”) from a historic recording session held at the Hotel Roosevelt<\/a> in New Orleans.<\/p>\n

The recordings were not just the first recording session for the New Orleans Owls<\/a>, they were part of the first field recording session to utilize the new electrical recording process via a mobile recording van.\u00a0 \u00a0The recording session ended early due to technical difficulties that you can actually hear in portions of both recordings in the form of odd noises and distortion, a particularly noticeable example of which can be heard just after 2:03 into the “Stomp Off- Let’s Go” side.\u00a0 I saw some speculation online that it might have been caused by an issue with the cutting head, possibly brought on by high New Orleans humidity.<\/p>\n

Fortunately for jazz enthusiasts ever since, despite the obvious technical flaws, Columbia nevertheless decided to bring both recordings to market.<\/p>\n
