After helping usher in New Orleans jazz during the early 20th century, Kid Ory disappeared from the scene altogether in the 1930s. Fortunately for the world, Ory returned in the '40s with a vengeance, and continued making some of the finest classic jazz around, lodging it forever in the public imagination. When producer and jazz critic Nesuhi Ertegun started Crescent Records in the mid-'40s, he first recorded an all-star New Orleans ensemble that included Ory on trombone (when Ory was just beginning to make his comeback). These 16 tracks, originally released on Crescent and acquired, remastered, and re-released here by Good Time Jazz, date from the Ertegun period. On one hand, these performances are a slice of history, especially the old-time tunes like "Oh! Didn't He Ramble" and Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag," allowing the listener to step back to an era when jazz was just finding its voice. On the other hand, with its clear production and masterful performances by Ory and company, this vital, exciting music stacks up against anything in the canon.
