Description
Dave Bartholomew's highly distinctive trumpet playing and his remarkable achievements as one of the chief architects of New Orleans R&B during the late '40s and early '50s as a producer (notably of Fats Domino) and his prolific song writing attracted a considerable amount of attention.
However what is often neglected when discussing his career are his own recordings and this 2CD set from Jasmine attempts to collect together all of these recordings for Imperial records between 1950 and 1962.
Features 57 superb slices of early New Orleans R&B with tracks such as "Jump Children", "Shrimp and Gumbo", "Hard Times (The Slop)" "When The Saints Come Marching In Boogie" and his first version "Little Girl Sing Ding-A-Ling" which later became a hit for Chuck Berry in 1972.
Includes fully detailed notes covering his career.
