Album lore

Slice of 1927 assembles a patchwork of jazz and dixieland numbers, drawing from early 20th-century standards and ragtime staples. Issued by Van Up Records in December 2015, this compilation spans 25 tracks, including familiar titles such as "Ain't She Sweet," "Alexander's Ragtime Band," and "My Blue Heaven." The collection leans into a spirited, vintage jazz feel, with arrangements that evoke the brass and clarinet-driven ensembles of the era. Though the album’s provenance is somewhat murky, the selection suggests a garage rock-inflected jazz sensibility, with a modest following reflected by just over a thousand scrobbles on Last.fm. The featured track "Brainstorm" fits neatly within this framework, offering a brisk, lively take that nods to the swing and early jazz lineage captured throughout the set. For those interested in the intersections of dixieland and mid-century jazz revivalism, Slice of 1927 presents a modest but earnest artifact.
