pure bliss,

[barrygardiner]

I believe that this is Johnny Dodds greatest recording amonst so many wonderful recordings from the master of the blues-tinged jazz clarinet. This recording is 85 years old and still sounds incredibly fresh. I am sure our great-grandchildren will be enjoying this in another 85 years.

[oogieobanyon]

Thank you for this jewel.

[busessuck1]

Dodds, Jimmy O' Bryant, George Lewis, Harry Carney... any other amazing clarinetists to check out?

[conkedup]

As a young and coming clarinet player, Johnny is truly inspiring

[lagerlout71]

Brilliant, this and San my two favorite Dodds numbers. Listen to that Clarinet wail. Sublime and unsurpassed. Perfect.

[cleospaw]

Absolute Heaven. I lost my original recording of this number some time ago during a move - what a delight to find it here. Thank you so much.

[roystoysE13]

[Blagirof]

Geweldig, dit is wel zo mooi, eigenlijk niet te verwoorden, wat een gevoel

[haycotrouge]

[ChrisAlbertson]

This has been among my favorite recordings since I first heard it, in Copenhagen over 60 years ago! Thank you for the nice presentation.

[wolfiejazz]

Thanks for your appreciation. It's left to we old guys nowadays to make sure that the pure artistry and musicality of these old recordings is broadcast to the world via youtube, in the face of the face of peurile pap that is dished up as an excuse for music these days.

[lsdvine]

@wolfiejazz scwaysemwee monsieur but, i am son of an old father, i am 20 and this is some of the finest clarinetting i know besides peewee. Do not fear my man, jazz will survive for many many years to come, tho i do understand that the standard will never be the same.

peace

[yourockets3]

@wolfiejazz - not so true I'm quite young, usually play free jazz both on alto and clarinet and i'm here to pay my due to Johnny Dodds - as I'm doing since 1982 :)

[hotjazz9569]

Wow!!! Dodds, Kid Ory, Johnny St Cyr, George Mitchell--How can you get better than this. Best ever Perdido Street Blues. THANK YOU!!!!!

[oldtimejazzfan]

@hotjazz9569 Do you know the Armstrong-Bechet version of 1940?

[wolfiejazz]

@oldtimejazzfan Hello Peter. Yes, I am pretty sure I have heard this version but many years ago. I do not have a copy. If you can transfer a copy of this through the wonders of youtube I would really like to hear it again.

[graubunden]

One of the hottest jazz numbers ever recorded by a true master of his craft !

[franco58ful]

Johnny Dodds è il mio clarinettista jazz preferito. Ha una sonorità unica, morbida,coinvolgente. Grazie per il video

[aerofredywr]

Just one word: GREAT!
