About this album

Volume One finds Tom Baker's San Francisco Jazz Band reviving early jazz with bright ensemble drive and affectionate period style. Issued in 1976, the album draws on New Orleans, ragtime and blues traditions, treating standards and originals alike with the snap of a classic revival outfit. The set moves through pieces such as Cushon Foot Stomp, The Ragtime Dance and New Orleans Stomp, showing the band’s focus on collective interplay rather than solo flash. For listeners drawn to traditional jazz, it reflects the 1970s interest in preserving and reinterpreting the music’s earliest forms.
