Contrary to popular understanding, it did not go “up the river” to Chicago, for the Mississippi doesn't go near the Windy City. But as early as the 1920s jazz did begin to evolve and change, and has continued to do so ever since. Swing, bop, cool jazz, fusion, and free jazz each followed in succession. Amidst these exciting transformations, the early days of the New Orleans pioneers were all but forgotten. There are exceptions to be sure. Louis Armstrong, for one, remains alive in memory, as do a handful of others. But what of Armand J. Piron or Leon Rappolo? Or the fine players who made the New Orleans Owls? Or the Halfway House Orchestra? These are scarcely household names! Oh yes, when this volume was recorded in 1994 there were still some old timers in New Orleans who once danced to the music of these great players and who recall their names with a twinkle. And there are a few fanatically loyal record collectors worldwide. But beyond these limited circles, the Golden Age has slipped from memory. In this collection the renowned Louisiana Repertory Jazz Ensemble of New Orleans offers a sampler of classic from the heroic years before 1930. This was a period when few New Orleanians referred to the music as “jazz'’ preferring to describe it instead as “our dance music!' Founded in 1980, the “Rep” quickly established itself as the band of choice among New Orleans’ musical insiders. Today it concertizes throughout the world, having appeared in major jazz festivals from Hong Kong to Chicago, Warsaw, and St. Petersburg. It has given the prestigious Doubleday Concern at the Smithsonian Institute and has appeared at the Grammy Awards in Hollywood. About this Recording: An exceptional example of true concert hall realism, this album was recorded directly to stereo using the “Head Acoustics” Binaural Recording System. In order to preserve the natural ambience and spatial integrity, no dubbing, remixing, echo artificial enhancement of any kind was employed. The result is a true listening experience that puts you in the “best seat in the house” (to capture all the spatial nuances, headphones are suggested). Whether you choose to listen with headphones or speakers, just sit back and enjoy the very special sound of the Louisiana Repertory Jazz Ensemble.
