Description

This 78 from the early 1940s may be one of a kind. I have asked several leading collectors about it and no one has ever heard of it, and neither has the archivist at the world's largest collection of Kansas City music, Chuck Haddix at the Marr Sound Archive of the University of Missouri-Kansas City. The record by C.M. White and his Jungle Club Band is on a white "Special Souvenir Recording" label and is signed by Miller "For 'Red' French." This record was originally in the collection of K.C. collector/historian Doug Jydstrup. Kansas City had a Jungle Club at 313 E. 10th Street, known for its exotic dancers and for other activities, legal and illegal. But this Jungle Club Band may not be connected to the Kansas City club; so far I have only found references to the band in old newspaper microfilm as a group reported to be from nearby Warrensburg, Missouri, in 1937. A Jungle Club was also reported in Warrensburg.

Members of C.M. White and his Jungle Club Band listed on the record are: T. Hollyman, H. Shackelford, E. Mueller, Saxophones; M. Polzin, L. Phillips. Trumpets; J. Smith, Trombone; L.J. Culp, Drums; B. Foster, Bass; R. Stockman, Piano. “Dinah” Arranged by Will Hudson. Vocal by Emily Chaney on the first chorus of “Dinah” (rest of the record is instrumental). VG+, plays with light surface noise and occasional small pops.

Most of the following descriptions are based on the Vintage Jazz Mart grading codes.
N (new) or M (mint): New and unplayed. NM or N- (near mint): Nearly same as M but played a few times. or showing minimal storage wear.
E+: plays almost like new, with very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
 E (excellent): Still very shiny, near new looking with few or no visible signs of groove wear but may have a few inaudible scuffs.
 E-: still shiny, but without the luster of a new record. Very little wear, plays distortion-free. May have a few minor scuffs.
 V+ or VG+: An "average" looking 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free of distortion. Surface noise still not pronounced.
 V or VG (very good): Moderate, even wear throughout but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not too intrusive. 
V- or VG- = quite playable; may have some distortion in louder passages but music remains loud in most places. Surface noise from wear and scratches are below music level. 
G+: gray throughout or quite scuffed but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled.
 G (good): quite worn/damaged, but surface noise still below music level. Listenable. 
G-: Music muffled from wear but still exceeds surface noise. 
F+: Music remains audible over surface noise but listening uncomfortable. 
F (fair): Surface noise is as loud as the music.
P (poor): unplayable.

Note: Some 78s look mint or near mint and may be graded so, but may play with some surface noise due to poor quality pressing material.
