Royal Society Jazz Orch.: "When It's Sleepy Time Down South"

End of a perfect afternoon in Sonoma, California, September, 1999.
Carla Normand sings this classic Louis Armstrong signature ballad, which he introduced about 1931.

Andrew Storar on trumpet. This is one of the most mellow and satisfying arrangements of this song I've ever heard. Sheer perfection!

thewildandthenerdy09: That's wonderful! I had no idea. I think he's one of the best trumpet players on the planet. Lucky you!

[thewildandthenerdy09]

Bobchai: Did you have any connection with Andrew? (that felt weird.typing his 1st name)

[Bobchai]

thewildandthenerdy09: LOL, no I really don't, but I know Don Neely the bandleader, and I have seen "Andrew" perform a number of times. He's great!

This band does have taste and technique. Subjective, I suppose, but I thinks so anyway.

Great vocalist too!

Thanks for sharing.

[Bobchai]

Subjective, of course, whether one likes this music or not. But I think all agree that taste and technique is a little more "objective" There's some music I don't care for, but I can agree that it's well-performed. Thanks for the comment!

I know it is presumptious, but I say this even surpasses Armstrongs original. Perfection!

[katzinjammer1]

I like!

gassyoldman: Thanks so much!

Sweet nostalgia. This is the sort of thing my dad would have been into! 5*****
