Jack Purvis is one of the almost forgotten giants of the 20's dance and jazz music. Thank you for this beautiful example of his blowing and musicianship. By the way he was an aviator, too :-)
I love the wiki bio on this guy... it sounds completely made up:
[Purvis'] lack of accountability plagued him throughout his life, and can be traced to his earliest years. In many instances, once Jack Purvis showed up to play an extended engagement, not so coincidentally, there was a spike in petty thefts and burgalaries for the vicinity of that gig.

I'd heard of Purvis but never actually heard him. He's amazing!
