1922-1 948 Part A – SIDEMAN IN THE STUDIOS Notes about Part A 1921/1922* In this first section I have attempted to compile all of Ory‟s June early recordings from 1922 to 1928. Mostly, these were as a Recording for the Spikes brother‟s Sunshine Records at the Nordskog Record sideman, with only the initial Nordskog/Sunshine session ever Company, Santa Monica, Los Angeles. appearing under his name. The band (or vocalist‟s) name that heads each entry is the one which appeared on the original SPIKES' SEVEN PODS OF PEPPER ORCHESTRA** label. In the previous editions of this discography I included all Mutt Carey, tpt. Fred Washington, pno. Kid Ory, tbn. Ed Garland, sbs. formats (78s, 45s, EPs, LPs, cassettes, videos and CDs). Dink Johnson, clt. Ben Borders, drs. However, in this current volume I have limited the entries to the original issue (whether 78 or other format) and CDs. 3009A*** ORY'S CREOLE TROMBONE In this section I have omitted any recordings that others have 3009B SOCIETY BLUES proposed to feature Ory, but do not sound like Ory to me! ROBERTA DUDLEY In some cases the trombone player that have been suggested Roberta Dudley, vcl; Orchestral accompaniment. have included John Thomas, Henry Clark, Roy Palmer, Al Wynn, 3007A KROOKED BLUES Geechy Fields and Charlie Green.

Sometimes there was more than one take in a recording 3008A MAYBE SOME DAY session and where there is doubt as to which take was used, I have listed the most issued side and marked it with a (?). 3008B THAT SWEET SOMETHING DEAR 78**** A selection of notes, quotes, anecdotes and illustrations has 3009A & 3009B been included to lighten the pages of numbers and letters!
