Jazz / Classic Jazz; Dixieland
Recorded: Jan 26, 1927-Mar 2, 1945
Irving Milfred "Miff" Mole (1898-1961) was a revolutionary trombonist whose clean, quick technique (like Frankie Trumbauer's) made a deep impression on black & white players alike in the formative jazz years. Dicky Wells called him "The J.J. Johnson of the 1920s; one of the first fine technical trombones I heard". A highly schooled musician, he possessed mastery over the complete range of his instrument and, with his band The Molers, he created a distinctly crisp, lightly swinging, inventive style that produced some of the most appealing jazz of the era, mostly alongside Red Nichols. Sadly he later fell out of limelight and became ill - and in 1960 was selling pretzels in a New York subway!
Miffology tells the Miff Mole story in 24 vintage jazz tracks. Opening with his showcase Slippin' Around (with Red & Miff's Stompers) there is a sequence of 17 Molers classics from 1927/30, gems such as Feelin' No Pain, Davenport Blues and Shim-Me-Sha-Wabble. The portrait is rounded out with six fine numbers from 1940/4 including a mellifluous Peg O' My Heart and Miff's Blues.
Filling the ranks of The Molers and the 40s groups are such jazz greats as Red Nichols, Pee Wee Russell, Muggsy Spanier and a host of others.
There is no other single-CD Miff Mole 'career portrait' available.
Discover the truth behind the Miffology: that Miff Mole was one of the trombone greats, demonstrated in a summary of his career with some of the brightest jazz of the age.

For a period in the 1920s, Miff Mole was (prior to the emergence of Jack Teagarden) the most advanced trombonist in jazz. He had gained a strong reputation playing with the Original Memphis Five (starting in 1922) and his many recordings with Red Nichols during 1926-1927 found him taking unusual interval jumps with staccato phrasing that perfectly fit Nichols' style. However, in 1927, he started working as a studio musician and Mole concentrated less on jazz during the next couple of decades. He played with Paul Whiteman during 1938-1940 and was with Benny Goodman in 1943. By the time he returned to small-group jazz in the mid-'40s (working with Eddie Condon and leading a band at Nick's), Mole sounded like a disciple of Teagarden and his style was no longer unique, although his record of "Peg of My Heart" was popular. Miff Mole's health was erratic by the 1950s and he was largely forgotten by the greater jazz world by the time he died in 1961. His best recordings as a leader were when he led his Molers during 1927-1930, although there was a four-song session in 1937 and later albums released by Jazzology, Commodore, Storyville, and Argo.
