This is a slightly off-the-wall project that succeeds quite well. In the 1920s, pianist
Lovie Austin's Blues Serenaders
recorded a series of numbers that usually featured cornetist
Tommy Ladnier
, clarinetist
Jimmy O'Bryant
and drummer
W.E. Burton
. In 1988, veteran pianist Art Hodes (83 at the time) teamed up with three Europeans (cornetist
Abbi Hubner
, clarinetist
Reimer Von Essen
and drummer
Trevor Richards
) to perform new versions of ten of the 16 songs originally recorded by
Austin
, plus Hodes' &Blues for Lovie Austin.& The ensemble-oriented music (mostly blues-oriented obscurities from the mid-'20s) is given very favorable treatment by the four players, all of whom clearly understand the idiom. Classic jazz fans will want this somewhat obscure effort.
