about

In 1919, a strange, unique and long-forgotten jazz band blazed for one brief but glorious year, outshining illustrious rivals, cutting dozens of records and taking New York City by storm. Led by Anton Lada and fronted by Alcide "Yellow" Nunez, THE LOUISIANA FIVE played jazz like no other band ever has before or since.

Until now.

In 2019, the year of their centenary, VEAC Phonograph Co. is proud to present "CLARINET SQUAWK!", a tribute to the Five in an unusual format - part reissue, part recreation. Part One is a celebration of the recorded legacy the Five left behind exactly a century ago. It comprises brand-new digital transfers of seven classic Louisiana Five sides - century-old survivors from 1919! - sourced from our own record collections. The tunes we've selected represent a cross-section of the Five's repertoire, and are taken from the better-condition records in our collections for ease of listening. In Part Two, we’re delighted to present our best attempt to recreate this unusual chapter in jazz history, recorded during the autumn of 2019 in London.

Download includes a 19-page PDF by Nicholas D. Ball with extensive research and new information on the Louisiana Five and its members, archival photos and information on the recreation process.
