OHIO JAZZ! A HISTORY OF JAZZ IN THE BUCKEYE STATE

WHEN THERE WAS NO AIR TRAVEL, AND PRIVATE VEHICLES WERE RARE, JAZZ MOVED IN THE COUNTRY ON HORSES, TRAINS AND RIVERBOATS. TRAVELING THROUGH THE STATES BETWEEN New York, Kansas City, New Orleans, AND Chicago. OHIO BECAME AN IMPORTANT STOP ALONG THE NATIONAL ROAD AND UP THE OHIO RIVER. THIS ROUTE ESTABLISHED OHIO SQUARELY IN THE CENTER OF THE MUSICAL ACTION.

RECORDED BY DAVE POWERS AT

THE MARBLE GANG DURING JAZZ & EGGS JAM SESSIONS 1980S

"LIVE SESSIONS ARE JUST THAT ... LIVE. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN AND USUALLY DOES, THE SESSIONS SWING, AND SO DO SOME OF THE HORN PLAYERS.... RIGHT AWAY FROM THE MICROPHONES. THINGS GET UNPLUGGED, WIRES GET STEPPED ON. SOMETIMES THE SESSION IS REALLY LOOSE AND SOMETIMES IT'S REALLY TIGHT. FOR ALL IT'S SPONTANEITY, THIS CD AND THE TWO THAT FOLLOW ARE GOOD REPRESENTATIONS OF WHAT A REAL OLD SKOOL JAM SESSION IS ALL ABOUT....EXPERIMENTATION, INNOVATION, AND INTERACTION BETWEEN OLD AND NEW".
