Outstanding. This becomes my new favorite version of the great Creamer and Layton song.
-
Is it Coleman Hawkins on tenor?

@clewisfan This particular session produced After You've Gone and also another song, called Victory Stride. I personally got to this recording through Ben Webster's 4CD Box called Big Ben, but I am sure you will be able to get to it somehow. If you can't find it anywhere, let me know.

@MrJimmienoone I am glad to be able to provide the information. As kwhope said, it is James P. Johnson's Blue Note Jazzmen from March 4, 1944. The personnel is as follows: Sidney de Paris (tp), Vic Dickenson (tb), Ben Webster (ts), James P. Johnson (p), Jimmy Shirley (g), John Simmons (b) and Sid Catlett (d).

Who are the musicians? Drums sound like Big Sid Catlett or Cozy Cole, trumpet could be Hot Lips Page. And there's a fabulous rhythm guitar.

James P Johnson's Blue Note Jazz Men (with Ben Webster on tenor sax)

Very interesting! The stride works with the pre-bop Hawk style!! Long live James P!!
It takes a sensitive drummer; notice how the piano doesn't intrude during the tenor solo. But then, when he strides, it adds a whole new dimension!



In forty-something years of following James P., I have NEVER seen the picture you display here. He looks very young. That sure seems to be his handwriting. Marvelous.
