Thomas Morris and his 7 Hot Babies..King of the Zulus.1926

[CompassRoseVNY]

This tune's been stuck in my head......for 35 years. A jazz fanatic I knew back when had this and other 78's on cassette, but it wasn't the greatest recording (I think he placed the recorder in front of a Victrola and let 'er rip). Well, on Christmas Eve it started rattling around in my noggin again. A quick YouTube search and viola! Best. Christmas present. Ever. Thanks so much! XD

Haha, I can tell you do like jazz!!

Great record, great music.

Best cornet player EVER.

The Zulus never produced music of this quality.It is really superb.I have never heard of the cornetist,Morris.

@Squarerig He was quiet and unassuming and so his personality never aroused comment.He sort of walked into a mist and never came out
