Great intro to the Red Nichols style of easy swing.......2003-10-24

All white jazz bands and musicians of the 1920s dwell under the shadow of Bix and the cult following that rose after him, which is good in that his virtuosity demonstrates that jazz is not colour-bound, but not so good in that a number of other, perhaps equally talented musicians are dismissed.

The case here is a good example: Red Nichols and his partner in crime, Miff Mole, produced a series of great recordings under various group names including Charleston Chasers, which was a studio group with a line-up that varied over the years, the Five Pennies, Miff Mole & his Little Molers, et al., from the mid 1920s to the early 1930s. Nichols has occasionally been dismissed as a imitator of Biederbecke, but his playing is never deficient in skill and sensitivity, and of course in this period the influence of Bix upon white jazz musicians was universal. Besides, all this is away from the point: the great quality of the Nichols/Mole recordings is the ensemble playing.

Nichols was a catalyst who united a number of names who would gain fame in later years (Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Pee Wee Russell, Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey, Gene Krupa, Jack Teagarden), as well as a number of lesser-known luminaries (Phil Napoleon, Arthur Schutt, Frank Signorelli, and the excellent Fud Livingston), to produce a unique casual and confident style of playing that was described at the time as "chamber jazz", and which we might in hindsight describe as a precursor of "cool".

Surprisingly little of Nichols/Mole's output has been collected onto CD, although some nice surprises may turn up on compilations of various artists. Of the 3 collections I have heard (out of 5 I know of) this is easily the best. The material ranges from 1927 to 1931, and is almost perfectly brilliant (the exceptions being the two "Brown" songs). The first half is instrumental, all performed with casual brilliance, perhaps a perfect accompaniment to a cool drink on a hot summer day. Listen to the modal twists in "Imagination", and try to imagine any other group of the time addressing these complexities with such gentle care, such flippant ease!

In the second half of this collection are a number of vocal numbers, this trend coinciding with commercial requirements in the aftermath of the 1929 stock market crash and consequent depression. (The crash also meant that Nichols stopped recording with the Chasers in order to concentrate on his own group, the Five Pennies.) The pleasant surprise here is singer Eva Taylor, who is not a jazz singer in the contemporary sense, but who has a relaxed, intimate style that sounds very modern (a result of the same breakthough in microphone technology that allowed Bing Crosby to develop his up-close-and-personal vocal identity). She addresses some standards that are perhaps better known as Louis Armstrong instrumentals, e.g. "Ain't misbehavin'", "You're lucky to me". The final two songs (also Armstrong standards) are sung by Jack Teagarden in his usual warm and vibrant way, and the arrangements and playing maintain their high standard.

I should reserve some praise for ASV Living Era, and audio restorer Martin Haskell, who have produced a great transfer, clean-sounding and without notable artifacts or harshness, and with no annoying artificial stereo effect imposed for allegedly "commercial" reasons.

(Don't confuse this record with the contemporary group of the same name, whose records include Pleasure Mad & Steamin' South.)

Authentic Sounding 20's/Early 30's; Fans Will Like This One.......2000-03-09

The British Group, "The Charleston Chasers," by virtue of the band name they have chosen, pinpoint what they are about. This, their second CD done for Stomp Off, is every bit as true to the 20's/early 30's style as their first work.

Debbie Arthurs has a voice well suited for these vocals, and the band works well together. The selection of songs includes some old standbys, like the Charleston, and even a couple of newly written 20's sounding songs.

My favorites are: Baby!, I Love My Baby, I'll Be A Friend with Pleasure,Just Another Day Wasted Away, and a new one, Funny Honey.

You will find samplings of several 1920's styles, from hot to sweet jazz. A wise purchase.

Fine 20's/Early 30's Group in their 20's/early Thirties!.......2000-01-03

The Charleston Chasers represent a new generation of 1920/early 30's musicians who will hopefully continue producing authentic sounding era music.

The Chasers have their own style and sound, but their 10 person band comes together well. They have perhaps taken a bit more liberty in their arrangements than some other bands, but they have not left the 20's idiom to do so.

The voice of Debbie Arthurs is excellent and at times soothing, other times playful. Personal favorites include, "That's You, Baby," "The Man I Love," "Drop Me Off At Harlem," and "No One But You Knows How to Love." "Clementine" and "Proud" are a bit weak. Is the CD worth purchasing? You bet! May the Charleston Chasers produce many more.

It is exciting to have a group, several of whom are under thirty, producing such a fine CD.
