You're right! I would love to know who remastered this. Wuloki, do you know? I have a friend near me (in Southern CA) who also has the original Paramount record of this, and I remember he spent about twenty minutes straight on it (dubbing it) just trying to eliminate the "wolf notes" to get it to sound like a piano and not a distorted electric guitar! I now realize this YouTube post is the best dub I've ever heard of this... what did they do to get it to sound like a piano again?

Great Pianists

You're correct! Clarence Smith (who was three years younger than James Blythe) knew Blythe in Chicago, and they probably hung out together at least a few times, saw each other around town, played rent parties, etc. Of course we don't know if they were friends or not, but they must have known each other, given how often Mr. Smith paid tribute to Mr. Blythe by using one or more of Mr. Blythe's piano figurations in his recordings (such as "Pine Top's Boogie Woogie" for example).

Whoever re-mastered this did a great job. I have the original 78 and it doesnt sound anywhere near this good.

1:14 onward to around 2:00 also sounds like it has licks of clarence pinetop smith in it. idk maybe im just hearing things.

The book isn't intended as an ego trip or a work of arrogance. I just have been pissed off by historians putting 1920s piano styles into little ridiculous boxes ("stride piano", "novelty piano", "barrelhouse piano", "blues", "jazz", "ragtime"), that I thought I needed to do the musicians justice by presenting them as if they were equals to each other.

because I'm tired and I already waste all my time replying to thousands of comments all over Youtube when I should really be devoting my time to working on my book and website to actually help people.

Great Pianists

Look man, this is too complicated to get into in comments on Youtube, and a lot of this stuff is really hard to explain in writing, why don't you let me know when you are in town and we can sit down at a piano and I can show you what I am talking about?

Great Pianists

Dear Mr. Scholar... I appreciate your insight. If you have even more to contribute, please email me through my Youtube page, so I can credit and include your comment in my upcoming book "Popular Piano Styles of the 1920s". And this is not B.S., I really AM working on a book by this title. Please also check out my playlist of 1920s piano playing.

I still can't get over how laid-back and yet virtuosic Blythe is here... or how relatively crappy the sound quality is. @#$% Marsh Laboratories and their equipment! They were some of the first people to do electrical recordings, and some collectors refer to their early efforts (such as this), as done by "harsh" laboratories! (har de har har)

It was published in the book "Moanin' Low", by Ross Laird and issued by Greenwood Press. I do not own this book, but have been able to do limited searches in it using Google Books.

That s entirely knew to me as a discographer and also to Blues & Gospel Records by Goodrich , Dixon & Rye in the 4th edition of the disco published in 1997 Where this info was first published PLEASE ? Number 1832 is shown on the label of Pm12224 recorded circa August 1924 with pianist J.H.Shayne

Finally, after his 1926 solo record and piano roll, Blythe accompanied Ms. Miller in the "New Mr. Freddie Blues", Paramount record # 12463, made in March, 1927. in the 1930's, a few years after Blythe's untimely passing, the composer, J.H. Shayne, finally got to record his own tune in the studio as a solo, followed by subsequent recordings by Albert Ammons etc.

Great Pianists

The first recording I know of "Mr. Freddie Blues" was made by Jimmy Blythe as an accompaniment to singer Sodarisa Miller, on Paramount records matrix # 1832, of which 3 takes were made, circa June, 1924. Unfortunately these were rejected, and I have no idea if copies exist. In August, 1924, J.H. Shayne (the composer) accompanied Ms. Miller on Paramount record 12224, which WAS released.

This tune composed by J.H.SHAYNE exists as a piano roll played by Blythe and as a recording for Paramount also played by Blythe
