Red Nichols - jazz sides, 1929, 30

Focus on the jazzier records done by the prolific cornetist Red Nichols, who by the late 1920's was concentrating on more commercial music.  Sides released as by the Louisiana Rhythm Kings (Jack Teagarden, Glenn Miller, Miff Mole, Jimmy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Pee Wee Russell, Fud Livingston, Joe Sullivan, Gene Krupa) and on radio transcriptions (Miller, Goodman, Charlie Teagarden, Sullivan, Adrian Rollini, Bud Freeman), these are some of the best "hot jazz" recorded by white bands of the period.
