Description
The Wolverine Orchestra plays "Tia Juana" and "Big Boy" on Gennett 5565. These are classic early Bix performances. On "Big Boy" he solos on piano as well as cornet.
Bix Beiderbecke (cnt, p); Jimmy Hartwell (cl, as); George Johnson (ts); Dick Voynow (p); Bob Gillette (bj); Min Leibrook (tu); Vic Moore (d). Recorded in New York on October 8, 1924.
This record is in V+ condition on "Tia Juana." On "Big Boy," the condition is VV+ generally, but there is some white residue at the beginning that swishes, and a fair number of scratches that tick after that. It's a noisy pressing besides. Despite these flaws, the first-rate music shines through. There are two small label tears on the "Big Boy" side.
I'm a longtime collector who is downsizing. I know how to pack records.
