Review

When he is talked about at all these days, it is mostly as the reflected glory of his association with Scott Joplin, Duke Ellington, or other luminaries of the early jazz pantheon. But now, with the compilation of all of his band's recordings from 1918 through 1920 on Jazzin' Straight Thru' Paradise, Wilbur Sweatman is finally getting the respect he has deserved for decades. Here are 25 tracks that chronicle the shift from ragtime to jazz and demonstrate Sweatman's seminal place in the development of the latter. At the same time, Sweatman's incredible clarinet pyrotechnics are on full display throughout. Jazzin' Straight Thru' Paradise features a 24-page booklet with extensive and illuminating notes by Steve Tracy, the noted scholar of the Harlem Renaissance, and over 74 minutes of the most exciting Dixieland-style music you'll find anywhere.
