Recorded at IVS Studio in Chicago, the tapes captured the WEJB in fine form (and very good sound), playing a wide variety of selections, from ragtime, to hot and sweet dance of the 1920s and 1930s, to revival tunes associated with Turk Murphy, Lu Watters, and Wally Rose. The tapes were sold at the band's engagements and are quite rare today. Sadly, the original studio masters no longer exist, but Rivermont has arranged with WEJB leader Mike Bezin to reissue these four remarkable albums digitally for the first time, newly transferred from Bezin's own file copies of the tapes. (Note: every effort has been made to extract the best sound from the tapes, but some imperfections inherent in the format remain, including hiss and brief dropouts. We believe the audio is very listenable -- check out the samples on this page and judge for yourself -- but because the sound quality is not up to our usual standards, we are offering this album at a discounted price.) 60 minutes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRivermont catalogue number: RD-6003\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormats available:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApple Lossless\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003edigital download \/ no physical product\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMP3\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003edigital download \/ no physical product\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are purchasing a digital download and you do not know whether your playback device is compatible with Apple Lossless, we recommend the universally-compatible MP3 format.  All digital downloads include a PDF digital booklet containing all of the text and images found in the physical CD booklet.

This title is currently available as a digital download only.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the popular West End Jazz Band produced a series of four limited-edition cassette-only releases. Recorded at IVS Studio in Chicago, the tapes captured the WEJB in fine form (and very good sound), playing a wide variety of selections, from ragtime, to hot and sweet dance of the 1920s and 1930s, to revival tunes associated with Turk Murphy, Lu Watters, and Wally Rose. The tapes were sold at the band's engagements and are quite rare today. Sadly, the original studio masters no longer exist, but Rivermont has arranged with WEJB leader Mike Bezin to reissue these four remarkable albums digitally for the first time, newly transferred from Bezin's own file copies of the tapes. (Note: every effort has been made to extract the best sound from the tapes, but some imperfections inherent in the format remain, including hiss and brief dropouts. We believe the audio is very listenable -- check out the samples on this page and judge for yourself -- but because the sound quality is not up to our usual standards, we are offering this album at a discounted price.) 60 minutes.
