This breaks my heart. 20s jazz is SO GOOD. It took me years to truly get into it, but one night in a highly intoxicated state it just suddenly clicked. Over the past few years I probably listen to more 20s jazz than any other era.
You have to just embrace the hiss -- think of it like a picture frame. It's not the art, but it's a necessary component which you can ignore. Don't trust any recordings which have removed all the hiss --- that means they are also removing parts of the music.
And actually, recording technology improved after 1925, so most of say Louis Armstrong's Hot Fives & Hot Sevens actually sound pretty good. They couldn't have a drummer, though, because he'd knock the needle off the groove.
Also, you need to know what recordings to listen to --- it's really important who's doing the remaster.
The releases below are all top-notch.
