| | King Oliver Complete Victors, Vol. 2 CD King Oliver Discography of CDs
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."
King Oliver & His Orchestra's classic 1929/1930 recordings. Featuring the talents of Dave Nelson, Punch Miller, Omer Simeon, Louis Metcalf, Cassino Simpson & many other giants of jazz.

This is straight-up rock & roll, shaking and stirring, and not watered down by vocals beyond an occasional "Hey" or "Olé." It's as basic as you can get, retro to the core, but all the better for it. J.P. "Thunderbolt" Patterson concocted this instrumental CD during a hiatus of his main gig as a drummer for New York's mighty Dictators. A man of many talents, Patterson wrote and produced the album as well as played most of the instruments by himself. Then he recruited his 'Tators pal, Ross "The Boss" Friedman -- also of Manowar and Brain Surgeons fame -- to play the Jeff Beck role over his base tracks. With the help of their longtime road manager, C.J. Scioscia, who added occasional instrumentation, the power duo deal out a hard rock set that mostly adheres to their tried, tested, and true backgrounds. "Hey!" "R/T," and "The Box, Pts. 1-2" are less rock anthems than Dictators' "Stay with Me" or "Two-Tub Man," but then again, what isn't? "Thunderbolt Theme" is the closest the band gets to the '60s Ventures sound, and "Katie Free" distinguishes itself as a chugging blues layered with Patterson's harmonica. Other highlights include "Olé," on which Ross the Boss delivers a chunky, zigzagging lead ending in an "Olé" chant as a nod to the Dictators' enthusiastic Spanish fan base, and the scorching "283," which wraps up the album with Ross' electric bolts delivered amidst Patterson's thundering beat, all within a brisk 32 minutes. Overall, the production is a tad too crisp, and a couple of tunes would have benefited from added vocals. Where's Handsome Dick Manitoba when you need him? The only other missing ingredients are sweat and a screaming crowd packed into a tiny watering hole -- this set would peel the paint off the walls performed live. J.P.'s grandpa Jake "Thunderbolt" Patterson, who is featured on the cover, passed on his nickname to the perfect percussive pugilist. ~ JT Lindroos
J.P.“Thunderbolt” Patterson may be best known as the longtime drummer for NYC punk legends, The Dictators and a founding member of “Handsome” Dick Manitoba’s Dictators spinoff group, Manitoba’s Wild Kingdom. In addition to 16 years of recording and touring with the Dictators, J.P.’s career has also included five years spent with indie rock faves The Voluptuous Horror of KarenBlack, as well as performing and/or recording with Joey Ramone, Dee Dee ...
