 In an exciting tribute to King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band, Chris
Tyle and Leon Oakley form a highly charged two-cornet team who
combine with a very Doddsian Mike Baird on clarinet and John
Gill's Ory-like trombone to offer a powerful front line over a
driving yet buoyant rhythm section, augmented by Steve Pistorius'
Morton-styled piano. The program includes tunes that Oliver probably
played on the job but never recorded, selections he recorded but
which were not released, and some that Oliver recorded later in
his career here rendered in his earlier style. You won't sit
still for this CD, beautifully recorded by Mike Cogan. An
absolute must!

Reviews:
IAJRC Journal, Summer 1998, Russ Chase:
The joy of listening to two-cornet bands is brought to bear by
these tow excellent discs from Stomp Off (reviewed with Stomp
Off CD1307). The band under Chris Tyle is not a working
band, but comprises members from other groups including Leon
Oakley and Mike Baird from the South Frisco Jazz
Band. Tyle, John Gill and Steve Pistorius are the only
full-time SLJB members present on this occasion. Clint Baker
(leader of the New Orleans Jazz Band), Marty Eggers (freelancer
who enhances any gig) and Hal Smith (leader of two or three
bands) combine to give the group a pulse that doesn't falter for
a moment.
John Gill turned out all of the arrangements except for two by
Tyle ("The Pearls" and "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles") and a
couple of stocks ("My Maryland" and "Eccentric"). "The Pearls" is a
captivating duet by Tyle and Pistorius that leaves one wanting
more. On this tune and others throughout the program, Chris uses
a Conn metal practice mute of the kind that Oliver
frequently employed. You'll recognize it when you hear it. The
band sounds great, nice and full, and the soloists are
familiar enough with the classic material to dive in head first.
It is a fine collection of Oliver-related material played
beautifully.
Great!!
