[drjazzisme]

Now this is something special!! they've got it going real good,and Jools.... you've developed so well into a super N.O. drummer,Im happy to have known you from your early days in jazz,well done,we need more young players coming on to keep this wonderful music alive.Thanks for posting.Im going looking for more like this 5 staqrs to all of you.

You lot speak rubbish!! The drummer is bloody brilliant! I only wish I could play half as well as that.... I saw them just recently with a different drummer, and they were no where near as good...

[jollywigs]

They ain't the Aces of old....but that kid drummer is terriffic...brings a lot of new life to a wonderful old band.

I dont agree totally with knulla08 about the drummer, and some of the solos are a bit too long making it feel a bit boring but otherwise its quite good and gets the old feet tapping, it is trad after all. By the way i didnt catch the name of his band, i would like to go along to see what perfection is like. He obviously knows all about music from his very technical review.

[pmmdrt]

The best Red wing ever!

The drummer should keep in mind that LESS IS MORE! Check the simplicity of, for instance Paul Barbarin.

Wonderfully played traditional jazz by all.Thanks.

[knulla08]

A boring fucking tune. The damn drummer destroys...

[alexanderetter]

how can a drummer destroy one thing that is already boring :-) ?

[qaqaz42]

great jazz as it should be played

[jollywigs]

As good as these guys are they're no Jack Gilbert, Phil Mason or Ron McKay!

Gentleman JIm still sounds good though!

If you weren't there, you've no idea! Max and the original Aces....legends!!!

I first saw Max and the Aces in 1970 at the Toby JUg, Tolworth. Every Monday night they were on. Bought Max a drink large Brandy. There was Brillo on drums and gentleman Jim on banjo. Great memories.

[erwigfilms]

I knew and played together with Max and Jim and the old Aces.

Now, more than 32 years later the new band is still superb!

Bob from Canada

[ulivids]

I think so too!

Ulrich from Germany

[punchsboy]

That is the real thing. Close your eyes and you could be listening to the George Lewis Band. Great swinging New Orleans beat which you hardly hear in N.O. anymore!

[albertsystem]

Nice SELMER improved clarinet, in very good shape. Actually is very rare to see that fine horn with three pards in a row, just Evan Christopher, Mathias Seuffert, Ryoichi Kawai, you... and me!

Have a good time!

[raketniels]

Indeed, a great video, and Jim McIntosh's banjo sole is great.

[hapeverse]

good old new orleans jazz. i particularly like the banjo and the drums!
