Henry "Red" Allen 1946 (title 3)

[InevitableItWas]

There was a time when there were bands that played both be-bop and jump (early rhythm 'n' blues), and Allen's band mixed them even on one song - like this one. Lionel Hampton is another example.

Thanks for sharing this rarity.

Red Alled, J. C. Higgenbotham and all concerned did a splendid job. Thanks.

The bassist is my father, Benny Moten. Uncle Red came over for frequent jam sessions. A true class act!
