  • Miff Mole with the Original Memphis Five (1940's and 50's)
    Nov 26 2024

    Largely forgotten trombonist who was one of the most influential jazz players of the 1920's, Mole continued his career into the 1940's and 50's, mostly playing dixieland. Here he is with groups of likeminded musicians from the 1920's and the Swing Era - the first from the late 1940's for Jazzology with Jack Palmer, Lee Castle, Jimmy Lytell, Joe Dixon, Frank Signorelli, Jack Lesberg and Chauncey Morehouse and the second from the 1950's with Billy Butterfield, Lytell, Signorelli, Gene Traxler and Tony Spargo.
