NB: The following review appeared in - Kings Jazz Review - Jan/Mar 1992 - 4th Year No 2 Edition.

These Snader Telescriptions are a collection of approx 3 minutes small films made in the 50s to fill gaps in the American TV programmes - shot from a spot in the studio, and in some cases, in a club or setting. These takes are superb with good sound quality.

They stand as horse and cart, an ideal match for England to pronounce that every head of every box-d’education’s music library in the land, acquire copies of these two videotapes.

If only to spite the elitist- traditionalist, or, for their own preserve, stem the increase in the Proletariat Hyde Park mass 'Opera Soap' a culmination of an original art, taken up by the higher ranks after ’45, on listening to the prisoners (Italians) sing in our cornfields, and thus replacing the music hall (England’s) arts, alas, now disdained, for the drenching that has shown the government, that such clique is no longer in need of its support, and that, the current spoils should now be directed at Dixieland jazz, exemplified by these videos - that is to say, that grant should now be directed at the guardians of England’s true music culture - Traditional jazz.

All (Dixieland Jazz) video instrumentalists taking part are completely at ease, enjoying to the full what they are doing, setting standards that have served well the many jazz artists of later years.

Pete Daily in Vol Two is in fine cornet lead, right from the start, levered tuba - Over The Waves - ‘Yes Sir, that’s my baby to the finish, in contrast to the Firehouse Five plus two group where everyone is a front runner, yet equally in ensemble as the Chicagoans. The melodic clarinettist Clark Mellory deserving my extra special attention.

Red Nichols and his 5 Pennies pay tribute to their country and their country reciprocates with appreciation in contrast to England tolerating all coins at its own expense.

The Bobcats in Vol One were formed in the late 30s out of the Bob Crosby Big Band; two changes - Butterfield/Lawson (tpt); and Stacey/Zurke (pno). Each of the line-up - a jazz giant, and, these cats do show their vitality to the full, imbued by the Bauduc drumming.

Jack Teagarden - Perhaps Jack was overshadowed by Louis Armstrong as a jazz vocalist - here he can be seen and heard at his very best on Basin Street and on Rockin’ Chair with the lovely Jud Condon Singers.

The Teagarden trombone is superlative as we glean on a bonus how great a trumpeter was his brother Charlie.

PS
I’m not sure if the videos are still available today.
