Don Kirkpatrick is on piano with Manzie Johnson, drms, Pops Foster bs., Sidney de paris tpt., Jimmey Archie tbm., and of course my favorite NO musician Sidney Bechet ss.
This is immortal stuff. Bechet and De Paris are in the pantheon of great jazz musicians. Everything about this recording is perfect: the choruses, the solos, the tempo, the rhythm boys. Man, this is it, so far as I'm concerned!
To all the people listening: Whether you realize it or not, you cannot remain still while you listen to the music of Sidney Bechet. Can't make that foot stop tapping, dammit!
Nothing quite like the clunk of a double bass, I can listen to this all night. You have great taste Lola. Be back later for more tunes !! Great meeting yer.
@jnmshmacm it's hard to compare artists that play different instruments and style. From what I've read and seen on documenties (check out BBC iplayer) Armstrong is credited amongst other musicians as the creator of swing
Oh, how could this NOT make you want to get up and dance?!? A nice gentle Lindy to this or a sassy east coast swing- perfect dance music! Congrats on learning to Lindy- there are few things better! :)! And thanks to the OP for posting this!
Could that Mr. Bechet blow that thing or what? Man the hair on the back o' my neck just stood up and took a bow. Solid.......like in "as a rock". academieswing I salute you.......Keep em' comin'.
I think this is his best recording of his lifetime; even more than very significant
"Summertime", of which (the latter) he may the definitive version to this day, even over Billie Holiday or Artie Shaw. You SHOULD give this a listen; it's cryin' to be heard.

I have never heard anything by Bechet that didn't make me think that words are stupid, puny, useless.
I melt.

This is proof that Louis Armstrong is over-rated. And I'm from Louisiana too... but Armstrong., as good as he was, he ain't got nothin' on Bechet!!!

@jnmshmacm Satchmo will never be over rated, and just because you're from Louisiana does not mean you're right.

@jnmshmacm I agree, but it's irrelevant. Both are amazing artists so let's just enjoy the sweet sweet jazz music.
