Great jazz! Have a soft spot for this tune. ACcording to jazz history, it was written by my Uncle, Walter Melrose,,,Whether or not, you do a fantastic job on it...
It was written by the New Orleans Rhythm Kings in 1923, and all 8 band members had a hand in it. It was resurrected in 1953 by Jo Stafford as a pop hit called "Make Love to Me."
Good stuff! Fabulous trombone! And great to hear Humph still, at this time, prepared to tackle traditional material. This tune is one of my all time favourites, and I always end up judging a band by how well I think it does with it! The 'trick,' in my view, is avoiding 'lumpiness' in the accompaniment (which, to be honest, I don't think they do here entirely) but, nevertheless, I think it works well overall, particularly the intro, which is beautifully measured.

WONDERFUL solo by Guenter! Using fewer notes than many and still be creative is very difficult to do, no matter the instrument. Outstanding.

Was Walter Melrose related to Frank Melrose?

Yes, they were brothers. Lester, was also my uncle. They owned Melrose Publishing Co, but my father was not involved in the business.

I would like very much to see some of his cartoons from the time he worked for The Daily Mail.
May God Bless his soul

What a great 'bone man!
Love this tune - played by a fabulous band.
I take it that the band comes from Haarlem in Holland - yes?
And Humph is great!
