George Lewis was a gifted and forceful clarinetist in the Johnny Dodds style. He stayed on in New Orleans after the closing of Storyville and the move of jazz to Chicago and beyond, and he was largely unknown until he played with Bunk Johnson as part of the revivalist movement in the early 1940s. The tracks for this superb CD were recorded in New Orleans in 1951 and 1953. The CD is in two halves having 6 tracks by a quartet with support for George Lewis's clarinet from piano, banjo and bass; and 6 tracks by a traditional band with trumpet and trombone joining George Lewis in the front line, and support from piano, banjo, bass and drums.

He made his first recordings with Oscar 'Papa' Celestin's New Orleans Jazz Orchestra in 1925. During the Depression years of the 1930's Madison worked mainly in brass bands for parades, funerals and other occasions. This was certainly where he developed his powerful, rich, brassy tone. Less inventive or dynamic than Armstrong, he was a strong middle range player. From the mid 1930's to early 1940's he was one of the three trumpeters in the Eureka Brass Band.
