(The tune appears under many titles in the New Orleans tradition, eg, "Everybody's Talking 'Bout Sammy" by the Sam Morgan Jazz Band.) Check out the great recording of "Slow and Easy" by the Louisiana 5 on Columbia -- one of their more popular records... and keep an eye and ear out for the alternative takes! I'm a fan of the unjustly obscure "Salt & Pepper". They were Frank Salt and Jack Pepper. Unlike the other "Salt & Pepper" Cameos which I'm familiar with, which are duets, this seems to be by Jack Pepper alone for some reason. Salt & Pepper made regular radio broadcasts in the mid/late 1920s and appeared on Vaudeville and Broadway reviews. They split up in 1929; with Salt disappearing into obscurity for all I can find, but Pepper making success as a soloist before teaming up and marrying a young dancer named Ginger Rogers. They were billed as "Ginger and Pepper". Jack Culpepper seemed like a young star on the way up in 1929, but as the public's tastes in music changed with the Great Depression it didn't work out that way. He did appear in a number of films later, usually in character roles. From the volume I've assumed the mid '20s Salt & Pepper Cameos were acoustically recorded. Cameo using electric in 1924?? Interesting if so! Thanks for sharing some great records. “Slow and Easy” is a slight variation on the Buddy Bolden standard from about 20 years earlier “Don’t Go Away Nobody”.
