Seek and you shall find, and if you seek enough, sometimes you may find a nugget. The producer indicates the these recordings were made in the living room of James Campbell's house with one omni directional mike hung from the ceiling. James Campbell (guitar and vocal) was under the mike, the fiddles closer than the trumpet farther back and the tuba in there somewhere. The other members of the five were Beauford Clay (fiddle and banjo on "John Henry"), Bell Ray (seond fiddle, guitar, vocal on "This Little Light of Mine," banging of bow on tuba for percussion on "Baby Please Don't Go"), George Bell (trumpet), and Ralph Robinson (bass horn/tuba). As the producer notes, this may not be the best recording by modern standards - the music was sometimes off key, and there is a little recording hiss.The main value of this type recording is the preservation of the music as it would have been played on the street, or at a house party. The musicians were typically not well known, did not tour or make studio recordings, and many were lost forever without ever making a recording. The music is blues, a little gospel, some country fiddling, etc. The producer wanted mainly blues, so that was mainly what they played for him, although they normally played a wide variety of music. The music tends to be spontaneous and unique. There are some fiddle solos, some trumpet solos, etc. (somewhat like a modern jam session).In modern times you won't find street musisians that much, and the ones you find street busking in places like New Orleans are mainly single musicians. An actual street band, in the old sense, is something you might rarely find at a special event. It's a style that is generally lost.
