Product Details
Pee Wee Russell's clarinet voice was unlike anyone else in jazz, a quavering, searching tone that defied every convention of his era and influenced generations of improvisers who valued personality over polish. A fixture of the 52nd Street scene and a trusted sideman to the greats of traditional jazz, Russell managed to sound utterly modern even when playing alongside Dixieland royalty.
These 22 rare tracks capture a creative highpoint in Pee Wee Russell's unique career. Features Lionel Hampton, Fats Waller, Eddie Condon, Jack Teagarden and others. Digitally restored, this material makes it's first time ever appearance on CD. Deluxe booklet features rare photos.
