One of my favorite recordings ever. That's J.C. Higginbotham on the t-bone. One of the early greats, and one of my heroes. I used to try to do lip trills that fast -- it's harder than it sounds.
Could he ever play! My trumpet/coronet playing days were very pale in comparison. A lot of fun though. I never was allowed to puff out my cheeks like that! Thanks.

This Dec 13th, 1929 version of the ST. Louis Blues, was the best version Satchmo did.
