The first tune is Everybody loves my baby by Red Onion Babies with Alberta Hunter and Louis. The second is Scissor-Grinder Joe by Cook's Dreamland Orchestra with Keppard and Noone.
this is some nice music no matter what its called. Im glad that even now it can get people feeling so passionately that they start hurling insults at each other. its too bad you cant meet face to face and duke it out! that would be an epic battle! bravo!
@Bumblebee38 Actually, this version was released on Gennett 5594 under the name the Red Onion Jazz Babies. The vocalist on these recordings was actually Alberta Hunter, who's name was put on the records under the pseudonym Josephine Beatty. This version, along with the version you're referring to, were recorded on the same day. The Blue Five version with Eva Taylor on Okeh 8181 is pretty easy to find, while the ROJB version is VERY rare.
With great interest I read the comments issued here on this platform. The question whether it is Bailey or Bechet can be answered easily: it is Bailey on both the ROJB and the Williams side. I own both originals, i.e. Gennett and OKeh, maybe the sound of reproductions leads one into the wrong direction. By the way, the piano is different, ROJB has Lil(l) Armstrong on the chair.
Chenelle. Are you really of Freddie's family? I just published a big portrait of Freddie in Jazz Puzzles Volume 1. You can find it on the net at jazzedit Cordially, Dan Vernhettes, Paris, France
His brother Louis played the guitar and the tuba, so maybe the one who uploaded the video has cofused them. Anyway, I never heard of Freddie recording with Louis Armstrong either...It might be around the 20's or so... :-S
I do not have the Rust books with me in the countryside, but from aural evidence this is Louis on cornet. The pianist indeed sounds more like Lil Armstrong than Cl. Williams, and the singer is not Eva Taylor. There is no trace of Bechet's playing in this sopranist's phrasing, so it must be Bailey. So we better trust the people who own the original 78s. Now what I do not understand is why Keppard is mentioned with this tune. Is it to compare trumpet styles?

thank you it is so beautiful and not easy to find, 100 years, incredible, the better anti-virus I know.
Freddie Keppard used to cover his fingers so other musicians couldn't copy him. Well they could hear the sounds and go from there.

I can hear a soprano sax!!
What is the title of the Keppard track, and who else is on it?
Keppards band was a ragtime band, they didnt play jazz.
