There are 3 Document CD's of her early recordings,
and Jazzology/American Music has a CD of the late recordings.
Smithsonian Folkways now owns COOK, and all those albums are available on
CD-R, download or tape.
LP's on Capitol, Verve, Dawn Club, Storyville frequently show up on the
usual sites.

I've seen a listing for EMERSON 10586
 AGGRAVATING PAPA
 FOUR O'CLOCK BLUES
- were there others, what was the date of this?  Thanks.
Best wishes, Thomas.

Many, many sides between 1922 and 1930, one session in 1939, various
sessions
for labels like American Music and Cook and Verve in the 50s as well as a
few
sides with Sharkey Bonano, plus quite a few 50s airchecks.

I'm still  sorting and listening to the large collection of records I
picked up for almost nothing at a couple recent auctions.  What prompts this
post is  a record I  just  played, Lizzy Miles, Hot Songs my Mother Taught
Me. It's an LP, but I'm blown away by this woman's voice. Do not recall
ever  knowing about her, which is  a shame as well as  amazing.  Internet
search says she was born  Landreaux in New Orleans,   died in 1963, recorded
from about 1910, found fame in Paris as the Creole Songbird, etc.   Her
easy,  distinctive delivery on old standards  is just wonderful to my ear.
Anyone  know of any 78s she recorded?
