Produced with the consummate quality characteristic of the Storyville Records label, this one boasts excellent digital sound restoration by Jack Towers, more than an hour of playing time, and detailed liner notes by Jack Sohmer. Taken from several live radio broadcasts in the early '50s from the famed New York City 52nd Street club Jimmy Ryan's, these characteristic recordings of Wilbur DeParis and his Rampart Street Ramblers swing with a verve and excitement that belie the discipline and planning which the trombonist demanded of his colleagues. Maintaining a fairly consistent personnel for years, these tracks capture DeParis and his men at the beginning of what was to be an incredible decade-long association with Jimmy Ryan's. With talented clarinetist Omar Simeon soaring above the ensemble and banjoist/guitarist Danny Barker rocking away, the band could easily work up a crowd to a frenzy. Mixing blues, dixieland favorites, and original pieces by DeParis, The Ramblers delighted audiences with quality musicianship. Although DeParis was better known as a leader than as an improviser, his clean licks and fine placement of notes overcame a decidedly limited range. There are joyous and even rousing versions of "Too Much Mustard (Tres Moutarde)," "Alexander's Ragtime Band," and "Marchin' and Swingin," not to mention a few blues. DeParis may sound dated, but he delivered what he promised with skill and professionalism, and this disc captures his spirit. ~ Steven Loewy, All Music Guide
Wilbur DeParis
Active Decades: '20s, '30s, '40s, '50s and '60s

Wilbur DeParis, an adequate soloist, was an excellent ensemble player and an important bandleader who helped keep New Orleans jazz alive in the 1950s. He started out on alto horn and in 1922 played C-melody sax while working with A.J. Piron before switching permanently to trombone. In 1925, DeParis led a band in Philadelphia and then had stints in the orchestras of Leroy Smith (1928), Dave Nelson, Noble Sissle, Edgar Hayes, Teddy Hill (1936-1937), the Mills Blue Rhythm Band, and Louis Armstrong (1937-1940). Not as well-known as his brother, the talented trumpet soloist Sidney DeParis, Wilbur was with Roy Eldridge's big band and Duke Ellington (1945-1947) and recorded with Sidney Bechet during 1949-1950. However, it was in 1951 when he put together a band to play at Ryan's that included his brother and clarinetist Omer Simeon that he found his niche. Wilbur DeParis' New New Orleans Jazz Band did not just play Dixieland standards but marches, pop tunes, and hymns, all turned into swinging and spirited jazz. Throughout the 1950s, the group recorded consistently exciting sets for Atlantic (all of which are unfortunately long out of print) and they were the resident band at Ryan's during 1951-1962, touring Africa in 1957. DeParis continued leading bands up until his death, but his last recordings were in 1961.
