The Wolverine Blues
This is another recording that I found on an old computer drive. The Old Waterloo Jazz Band recorded this in Hutto, Texas sometime around 2010. At least that is the date on the file I found!
Jelly Roll Morton composed "Wolverine Blues" and recorded it at Richmond, Virginia in July of 1923. Morton was a talented musician and a prolific composer. You can read more about Jelly Roll Morton here.
Tom Griffith's "Old Waterloo Jazz Band" was for many years the only traditional jazz band in Austin, Texas. They performed quite often at different venues around Austin, notably playing for many cruises up and down Lake Austin on the Riverboat Commodore. The personnel on this recording consists of: Tom Griffith - leader/piano; Larmon Maddox - cornet; Jim Ivy - clarinet; Barry Irwin - trombone; Bob Black - guitar; Bob Alexius - bass; Jeff Prause - drums.
