Wilbur Sweatman's Original Jazz Band: Jazzin' Straight Thru' Paradise
Vaudevillian Wilbur C. Sweatman impressed audiences by playing three clarinets
at once, but he was more than just a novelty. A transitional figure in the move
away from ragtime and into jazz, Sweatman and his band were the hottest and
the best players of the Dixieland style of jazz that erupted onto the American
music scene in the late 1910s. 25 tracks, including the complete Columbia releases
of Sweatman's band recorded from 1918 to 1920, along with one rarity, the Little
Wonder (5-1/2" disc) of "Lonesome Road." The 24-page booklet
with writing by Harlem Renaissance scholar Steve Tracy features an overview
of Sweatman's life, detailed and informative notes on the selections, and a
persuasive argument for Sweatman's place in the early jazz pantheon. Read

The Great War: An American Musical Fantasy
Featuring 56 tracks, Archeophone's The Great War: An American Musical Fantasy traces the history of American involvement in World War I by reviewing the kind of records that were released. What unfolds is a drama in which the U.S. transforms through a series of stages: from curious bystander and political neutral to naive dove, then from idealistic booster to jingoistic hawk, and finally from jubilant victors to street-wise questioners asking "What was it all for?" With a 76-page full-color booklet featuring historical graphics, original research on the recording industry and a personal reflection on the war, The Great War is unparalleled in Archeophone's catalogue.
