    Virtually everything by Bix Beiderbecke. All early Louis Armstrong, with a special fondness for the 1927 record he did with Earl Hines. Duke Ellington's late 20s, early 30s sides contain a great deal of beautiful music. Johnny Dodds!

    I've got lots of Time Life box sets. Does that count?

    PS Yes, you can have them.

    "Old Timey" Jazz was one of the big losers in my Xmas collection reduction, I now have nothing left from the 20s-40s except for some Armstrong, Ellington, Goodman, Christian, Reinhardt & some early classic female blues stuff, maybe. I had heaps, now I have a little & I can't say I miss it.

    I've got this old record of Monk doing Caravan w/ Kenny Clarke in 1947. Nice drum loop, and then Monk murders the lead
    I think that's the oldest thing I've got :newjack:

    I actually like some of the older ragtime era stuff with the fast banjo strumming-the interplay between instruments is what will get me to listen. Call and response between players and all that good stuff. Don't have a whole lot of it, but do enjoy.

    I recently re-read both Louis Armstrong and Mezz Mezzrow's autobiographies. Both give you a good impression of the early jazz scene from the 1900s-1940s and an appreciation of the great musicianship of the first jazz cats.

    i read the mezzrow book few years ago and that's what made me discover the early jazz scene too ... after i finished the book i thanked greatfully my friend who give me the book and went to a record shop to buy all the previously named musicians records
