Ca-razy, man. This dude was so hip, and what a band. His sidemen over the years included Doc Cheatham, Cozy Cole, Milt Hinton, Chu Berry, Dizzy Gillespie, and Jonah Jones.
If this is your introduction to him, there is so much more from his 50 plus years as an entertainer.
"His sidemen over the years included Doc Cheatham, Cozy Cole, Milt Hinton, Chu Berry, Dizzy Gillespie, and Jonah Jones." After Chu died he had to make do with Illinois Jacquet, Ike Quebec, and Sam "The Man" Taylor. (!)
@doodlebugamy these were the days when u had to have real talent to be a star.....this guy got style and star written all over him.......................amen
cab is great on this, but its trumpeter jonah jones is at his alltime best (this is a textbook on his playing), and i believe this is far better than the columbia 78 with the big band, jivey swings like mad (killer drummer, and milt hinton on bass i believe) and loads of fun, merci beaucoup, yves
