Muggsy Spanier and his Dixieland All Stars

Mugsy Spanier(1906-1967)はシカゴ出身の白人トランぺッターで、BixよりもLouisの影響が強いと思われます。そのスタイルは独特で、フレーズの語尾にしゃくり上げる独特の泣きがあって、根強いファンがいます。得意のミュートでの演奏が随所に聞け、音も良いこのCDはSpanierファンヒ必携です。サンフランシスコにあったHangoverクラブからのラジオ放送録音です。同じところからEarl Hinesと組んだものも出ていましたが、ここでは隠れたる名手Red Richardsのピアノが名人ぶりを発揮しています。
