This set features some of Joe "King" Oliver's later 1930 recordings for the Victor Talking Machine Company. Though in the early '20s Oliver had employed artists of the caliber of the trumpeter Louis Armstrong and the clarinetist and saxophonist Johnny Dodds, by the turn of the decade these performers were long gone, and the bandleader was suffering from a painful gum disease which made stand-ins necessary for most of his solos. However, his acumen in choosing talented musicians is still very much apparent in the performances of such figures as the pianist James P. Johnson and the trumpeters Bubber Miley and Henry "Red" Allen. Highlights include the classic "St. James Infirmary" and a spirited version of "Frankie and Johnny."

Volume two of King Oliver's complete issued Victor recordings as presented in 2007 by the U.K.'s Frog label opens with two distinct versions of that grand old melody "Frankie & Johnny," featuring Clinton Walker's tuba and Roy Smeck's harmonica. Unlike King Oliver's earlier recorded works, the Victors are typical of standard jazz and dance band music as performed in New York at the end of the 1920s. Some of the arrangements might seem a bit gummy when compared with somebody like Duke Ellington, but on the level this is enjoyable classic jazz with great trumpeting by Oliver's nephew Dave Nelson, Bubber Miley and Henry "Red" Allen. Most of King Oliver's final Victor records were cut in New York at studios located on East 24th St., 46th St. and at Liederkranz Hall on East 58th St. between Park and Lexington Avenues. His very last date as a leader occurred in Camden, N.J. on September 19, 1930; the recordings made on that day add up to two takes of "Stealing Love" and three renderings of the "Nelson Stomp." Frog's two-volume analysis of Joe Oliver's complete Victor recordings is well worth investigating. While some may chafe at hearing so many alternate takes, those who are fascinated by the King Oliver legacy and early jazz in general will want to make time to absorb each and every historic performance.
