A New Archival Set. Out June 19th
PRE-ORDER via Bandcamp right here or ask your local indie store for it.
1925 marked the advent of electrical recording, the dawn of the "Jazz Age", a pre-"big bang" country recording session in Asheville, and a few landmark blues recordings. Tompkins Square's new compilation brings it into focus.
Dick Spottswood is a legendary musicologist with deep knowledge of early jazz, blues, international, and vernacular American music from the first half of the 20th Century. He has contributed notes and transfers of records from his collection to hundreds of influential reissue albums on many labels over the decades. Spottswood teams up with Tompkins Square to offer a selective view of our favorite 78 rpm sides from 1925, a pivotal year in the development of jazz, blues and early country music. Extensive notes by Grand Ole Opry photo archivist, guitarist and writer of books, Cameron Knowler. Digital restoration by Grammy-nominated mastering engineer Jessica Thompson. Design by Clay Conder.
