The 17 recordings reissued by
Jazzology
under the heading of
Willie "The Lion" Smith & His Jazz Cubs
are uncommon and well worth experiencing. This compilation could conceivably be confused with the
Timeless
label's 24-track reissue of jazz from the mid-'30s played by a small swing band billed as
Willie "The Lion" Smith & His Cubs
. Both collections are excellent and the two sets have no tracks in common.
's "Jazz Cubs" edition combines piano solos performed at New York's Ritz Theatre in July 1944, and selections recorded live at Town Hall in February 1971 with a small unit designated as
Willie "The Lion" Smith's Washington Cubs
. Drawn from an LP on the small time
Fat Cat Jazz
label, these tracks feature the Lion with
Wild Bill Davison
's bassist
Van Perry
,
Max Kaminsky
's drummer
Skip Tomlinson
, Virginian clarinetist
Tom Gwaltney
, and Australian trumpeter
Tony Newstead
. Vocals are attributed to
Johnson "Fat Cat" McRee
, a producer, promoter, and record label owner based in Manassas, Virginia. Formerly difficult to obtain, these historic tidbits of Harlem stride piano and traditional ensemble jazz are a welcome addition to the ever-so-slowly-increasing number of digitally reissued works by
Willie "The Lion" Smith
