The first ten selections have Mutt Carey, who like Ory had come out of retirement, joining his old boss in the front line. With former Jelly Roll Morton clarinettist Darnell Howard aboard for the first seven numbers, the well-integrated band swings hard on Maryland, My Maryland, Wilbur Sweatman’s Down Home Rag and 1919 Rag (a song that they successfully revived) on the 8 September 1945 session. The music probably sounds similar to the jazz played in New Orleans when Ory left in 1919 except that there is more space for solos. It is certainly light years away from the big swing bands or the new bebop music of Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie that was emerging that same year.
The 3 November 1945 date has the same personnel performing four dixieland standards. Original Dixieland One-Step was from the repertoire of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band and Ory’s Creole Trombone was one of the two numbers recorded by Ory in 1922 and was also previously recorded by the trombonist with Louis Armstrong’s Hot Five. Maple Leaf Rag was the greatest hit of the ragtime era (and nearly the only rag to become a standard) and Weary Blues had been immortalized by Louis Armstrong’s Hot Seven, a band that Ory missed playing with.
The same edition of the Creole Jazz Band in 1946 with Barney Bigard succeeding Howard performs some unusual material. Joshua Fit The Battle Of Jericho has a very familiar melody though it has rarely been played in a jazz setting; Helen Andrews and banjoist Bud Scott have the vocals. Blues singer Trixie Smith’s The World’s Jazz Crazy, Lawdy So Am I will sound familiar to dixieland fans for it is the same song as “Ballin’ The Jack.” Creole Bo Bo is a childlike tune written by Kid Ory and his wife Cecile that has a resemblance to “Mary Had A Little Lamb” but with some extensions and a vocal by Ory in French.
Although the Kid Ory group only had one record date during 1947-49, its popularity actually grew during this period and the Creole Jazz Band was now thought of as one of the top representatives of vintage New Orleans jazz.
With the exception of the leader and drummer Minor Hall, the sextet’s personnel had changed completely by 1950 but the band’s style stayed consistent. The biggest change was that the relatively primitive cornetist Mutt Carey had been succeeded by the powerful Louis Armstrong-inspired trumpeter Teddy Buckner. Joe Darensbourg was in Bigard and Howard’s place (filling a similar role) and Ory always played in his own unique style. The band, driven by Buckner, performs joyous versions of At A Georgia Camp Meeting and Mahogany Hall Stomp, and even tears into the pop song The Glory Of Love which has a highly expressive vocal by Lee Sapphire. Later in the year, the contrast and blend between Buckner and Ory (who really sings through his horn) during the first chorus of Go Back Where You Stayed Last Night before another winning Lee Sapphire vocal is memorable while Yaaka Hula Hickey Dula has some percussive slap tongue clarinet by Darensbourg.
The final five selections feature the 1953 version of Ory’s band, with Buckner and clarinettist Bob McCracken being strong assets. The biggest addition was the great stride pianist Don Ewell, who added a powerful lift to the rhythm section and was arguably the band’s finest soloist. These standards are all given the Kid Ory treatment and even though South Rampart Street Parade, St. James Infirmary, Aunt Hagar’s Blues, Duke Ellington’s Creole Love Call and Milenburg Joys were recorded many times through the years, the Ory band made them sound lively, fresh and just a little unpredictable.
