Cripple Clarence Lofton CDs
Cripple Clarence Lofton’s name is synonymous with energetic boogie-woogie and deep blues piano. Though his style was not highly sophisticated his playing was lyrical and infectious. In addition, he more than compensated with his voice, his songs and his stage presence. Clarence would jump up, dance, whistle, joke and kick up a storm as he performed making him a favourite with his audiences.

Vocal Blues CDs
This, the first of three volumes features the work of four female blues singers. Three are obscure names whilst Alberta Jones whose recordings dominate this collection stands out as the star. As with the vast majority of the CDs featuring female classic blues singers in the Document Catalogue, this collection is given double strength by the inclusion of some excellent accompanists including Fletcher Henderson and his Orchestra backing Inez Richardson. Duke Ellington and Otto Hardwicke lend a hand with two of Alberta Jones numbers and Alma Henderson is in the company of DeLoise Searcy on piano and Lonnie Johnson on guitar on her first two recordings followed by Eddie Lang on her two remaining titles.

Female Blues CDs
This collection casts a wide net to capture two dozen un-reissued recordings by a dozen blues singers whose material has been collected already in this series, but these sides are by no means mere stragglers or stray sides, but in fact feature both well known and obscure vaudeville singers in good excellent form.

Vocal Blues & Jazz CDs
Volume two of this three volume series features ten female singers who to a greater or lesser degree found the blues in their lives, from the highly successful Ethel Waters, Lizzie Miless and Sara Martin to the more obscure Laura Bryant, Tiny Mayberry and others including Rosa Henderson of whom the famous blues / jazz record producer John Hammond once said was “an underrated artist”, the sides appearing here add weight to that comment.

The Golden Gate Orchestra CDs
These titles were recorded between 1925-1929 but the contrast with, say Clarence Williams music, is striking. This is the roaring twenties music for a white audience, high quality musicianship but dance band style. Evoking nostalgia and a world in black and white in all senses. Some of the songs themselves will be familiar eg. When The Red Red Robin..., The Charleston.
Will appeal to Dance band, Jazz, and Nostalgia fans.
Excellent sound restoration and specialist sleeve notes.
