The legendary Original Dixieland Jazz Band meets The Swing Era. In September 1936, leader Nick La Rocca recorded two sessions for Victor using a larger band than he had previously (and dropped the word “jazz” from the group name on the record label). “Bluin’ The Blues” is on the flip side: youtu.be/u0U_YBQZEPs
And this was the band’s famous 1918 recording of “Tiger Rag”: youtu.be/k7-sMpj3LWo
Transferred from 78rpm Victor 25403 - Tiger Rag (Harry De Costa-D. J. La Rocca) by Nick La Rocca & the Original Dixieland Band, featuring Larry Shields on clarinet, recorded in NYC September 2, 1936
