The last post in our Bubber series brings us full circle to the soundtrack at least - the full video is not presently available - of the Vitaphone short that Bubber Miley recorded with Leo Reisman.
We have now catalogued all of Bubber Miley's recordings - so far as are known, to date - outside of his work with Duke Ellington. The earliest of them are virtually a century old. Indeed, this week gone by, 10 August, 1920 saw one of Bubber's collaborators, Mamie Smith record Crazy Blues, changing the course of recording history.
A comprehensive discography of all Bubber Miley's known recordings outside his work with Duke may be downloaded here.
