NOTES: Hard as it might be to believe now, there was a time when the Columbia label documented trad jazz bands. New Orleans Shuffle was the sixth and final Columbia LP by trombonist Turk Murphy and his popular group; none have been reissued on CD. The music is typically excellent for Murphy, including veteran standards and songs associated with Louis Armstrong in the 1920s, Jelly Roll Morton, and King Oliver among others. At the time, Murphy was featuring a now-obscure but talented trumpeter (Birch Smith), along with such regulars as clarinetist Bob Helm, banjoist Dick Lammi, Bob Short on tuba, and guest pianist Don Ewell. Highlights of their spirited outing include "Mandy, Make Up Your Mind," "My Honey's Lovin' Arms," "Irish Black Bottom," "Drop That Sack," and "Come Back Sweet Papa."
