Johnny Dodds - 1927

The great New Orleans clarinetist Johnny Dodds made three sessions in the spring and fall of 1927 with a band he called the Black Bottom Stompers . .in a trio with Lil Armstrong and Bud Scott and two full bands with Natty Dominique, George Mitchell, Louis Armstrong, Roy Palmer, John Thomas, Barney Bigard, Earl Hines, Charlie Alexander, Bud Scott and Baby Dodds as well as one guest reunion with King Oliver in 1926. These well-recorded sides show why he was held in such esteem from his earliest performing days until his death in 1940.
