Careless Love Climax Jazz Band/Carol Leigh 1976

Many of you have seen some great jazz artists performing as guests on the Peter Appleyard shows produced between 1976 and 1979. More than 75 of these 25-minute shows were recorded by producer Bill Cooke.
It all started with a meeting between Bill and myself together with our trombonist Geoff Holmes.
Our Climax Jazz Band would be part of the "Pilot" project with an invited guest performer. That day we would record two shows. On behalf of Bill and his Company we invited New Orleans clarinettist Joe Cornbread and a singer from Connecticut. We had heard Carol Leigh as the vocalist of Chicago's Salty Dogs a few years before and we had become friends with her after she performed for a week at DJ's Tavern, the newly opened 330-seat club in Toronto's new Hydro building where we played 6 nights a week.
On the day of the recording there was a lot of excitement in the air. The recording crew's first experience with a live jazz situation, our first jazz show, Carol's tremendous enthousiasm and a totally sympathetic crowd.
All the Appleyard shows were recorded in a small room called Albert's Hall on the second floor of the Brunswick House, a famous pub in Toronto's University area on Bloor Street West.
Our band initially was formed in Albert's Hall in 1971 after having replied to a newspaper ad where owner Albert Nightingale asked for a dixie band. He hoped to have more success with jazz than with the wrestling dwarfs we would replace. We stayed there for about five years.
In this opening clip Carol Leigh sings the Careless Love Blues, a tune first recorded in 1925 by Bessie Smith with Louis Armstrong on cornet.
