Comments and Reviews


edlongus SUBS 27th Mar 2023		OK, I'll go with a generic label design. There is another record on that label, and that group (Sharkey's Dixieland Band) apparently had 6 members also.



cyeaman SUBS 27th Mar 2023		That photo caption appears to be missing one member of the band...



xiphophilos 27th Mar 2023		The label is neat but I think the band is only an idealized depiction of a generic dixieland band. I don't know if clarinetist Alphone Picou ever wore his hair parted in the middle in 1920s fashion, but he certainly didn't in 1950 when this picture of the Papa Celestin Band was taken (Picou is on the very left, Celestin the trumpeter): https://digitallibrary.tulane.edu/islandora/object/tulane%3A21313



edlongus SUBS 27th Mar 2023		You're welcome, xiphophilos!! I am impressed by the beauty of this record label!! One of the best 78 RPM record labels I've ever seen, dig that artwork!! I'm guessing the six musicians named are the six characters in the drawing?!? In scanning the Internet 4 information about this record, I see that this record was near the end of Oscar (Papa) Celestin's life. The Christmas Day, 1954 issue of Billboard Magazine has a brief obituary (under THE FINAL CURTAIN, top-center). It states that Mr. Celestin started a similar named band in 1911, so this group may have been around about 40 years at the time of this recording.



xiphophilos 21st Mar 2023		Thanks for adding an undamaged label, Ed!



edlongus SUBS 21st Mar 2023		With humble respect 2 xiphophilos, slightly less worn A side label scan added.
