N Blues - George O'Connor [from Alan Lowe's Really The Blues]
"The blues ain't nothin' but a good man feelin' bad". Train sounds roll through now and then, presumably created with stage sound effects. Due, however, to the recording fidelity available in 1916, there is not enough granularity to easily distinguish a sound-effect from the real thing. It may as well be a real train rolling through. Not the original title, of course. Even so a truly magnificent track.

The swing here has less to do with time point rhythm than with weight. The eighth notes are played pretty much evenly in time, but are weighted as though they were in triplets. Hips move on the beat, gliding off at a slant.
Three Preludes (2nd Prelude) - George Gerswhin [from Alan Lowe's Really The Blues]
If the blues are a music of dislocation, of severance, of alienation, these are heard in the shapes of the voids between the time senses of the melody and the time senses of the thump thump thump thump underlying.

Phrases end with an extreme slowing, each picking back up of tempo finding some aspect of the picked back up tempo that sounds like a continuation of a subdivision of the slowed down tempo. Schubertian phrase fractals.
