Viper Mad - M'N'M 1996
New Orleans legend Sidney Bechet who introduced the soprano saxophone as a jazz instrument in the 1920s recorded in 1938 Viper Mad with the Noble Sissle's Swingsters. He roped in Sissle's vipers to sing: "Wrap your chops 'round this stick of tea / Blow this gage and get high with me / Good tea is my weakness, I know it's bad / It sends me gate and I can't wait, I'm viper mad."
This gives you an idea of the origin of this tune and also explains the hilarious introduction by banjoist Jimmy Mazzi and the amazing little jazz group named M'N'M.
Members are banjoist Jimmy Mazzi, tubaist Ely Newberger and clarinettist Joe Muranyi.
Joe Muranyi was the clarinet player with Louis Armstrong's All Stars between 1967 and 1971. Jimmy Mazzy, from the Boston area has played for years as a solo performer and tubaist Eli Newberger was the anchor in Boston's famous Black Eagle Jazz Band between 1971 and 2004.
They perform here at the 1996 Sancy Snow Jazz Festival in Mt Dore in France.
All three have been playing for many years together on jazz festivals world wide. It is that intimate jazz atmosphere they know to create in a combination of technique, control, jazz sense and good taste.

Hi David,
Sorry for taking so long to reply. I'm not on that video nor was I there. I'm a life-long Louis Armstrong nut so I know when he did everything. There are two books that I get my information about videos from, "All Of Me-The Complete Discography of Louis Armstrong" by Jos Willems & "Louis Armstrong On The Screen" by Dr. Klaus Stratemann. The Louis clip you posted is from the first of two BBC-TV shows. Each show was 45 minutes & they were taped on the same day, July 2, 1968. Aside from Louis the rest of the band is Tyree Glenn-trombone, Joe Muranyi-clarinet, Marty Napoleon-piano, Buddy Catlett-bass & Danny Barcelona-drums. Louis died three years later, on July 6, 1971. He was only on the road full time for another two months after this clip. By mid September of 1968 he was seriously ill in the hospital & was out of commisiion for most of 1969. I hope that's enough information for you.
Best wishes,
Phil
