This is a grouping of three related studio groups which recorded in the late twenties, in the process reviving the names of two earlier groups. The OM5 had recorded for a variety of labels from 1922 on, and trumpeter Phil Napoleon had been a founder member and constant feature. In June 1928 he reconstituted the group to include the Dorsey brothers, and they recorded three fiery numbers for Vocalion. The following April, with the addition of vocalist Dick Robertson, they recorded three standards in a more laid-back style, and all six numbers are included here, plus an unissued non-vocal take of Beale Street Blues.
The following month, with the addition of Joe Venuti on violin, Eddie Lang on guitar and Joe Tarto on bass, they rechristened themseves as Napoleon's Emperors, and recorded five numbers for Victor. The first two are jazzed-up versions of popular songs of the time, but the second session produced three numbers apparently worked up by the band members for the occasion, of which the best-known is "You Can't Cheat a Cheater".
Another studio group Phil Napoleon had been closely associated with was the Cotton Pickers, which name was used on records made for Brunswick by the enlarged OM5. In March 1929 it was used for a group that included Tommy Dorsey on trumpet and trombonist Glenn Miller, which recorded three numbers for Brunswick, which are included with two alternate takes. Three more numbers were recorded in May, with Napoleon replacing Dorsey on the third. The latter returned in July to replace Miller, and the band recorded three tunes as both instrumentals (of which two are included) and vocals, the vocalist on two being Libby Holman.
These are fine examples of late-twenties white studio groups, which have been excellently remastered by the late John R. T. Davies. The set includes a full discography and Hans Eekhoff's informative illustrated liner note.
