Chicago Salty Dogs Jazz Band with Jim Snyder & Bob Neighbor

This was recorded on one of those old, huge, camcorders which I had to hold on my shoulder. I apologize for the horrid job of video taping; the value of this clip lies in the fact that Jim Snyder plays trombone and Bob Neighbor plays trumpet. It was a great night of music and I taped all three sets--not well, unfortunately; but it was a great evening and certainly an historic one.

Hey, that's my Uncle Jimmy Snyder! This is wonderful, absolutely wonderful. Thank you for putting this online.

I'm delighted to do it! We all loved Jim and what a wonderful trombone player he was. We miss him. I have several more tunes from that evening; but have hesitated to put them on YouTube because I was just starting taping and didn't do a very good job; but maybe I'll try to find another clip that would be okay. Thanks for your interest.

It should be noted that this tune is "My Heart" by Lil Armstrong. Thanks! I have been a fan of Bob Neighbor since he used to play with Scott Anthony, Jack Frost, and others many years ago.

I think in this case, the video quality is not what makes the clip so great - we were all carrying around video cameras the size of a briefcase in those days, and the picture wasn't always so great. :)

It's the beautiful music, and the fact that it's a moment in time that will never be repeated. I say put them up!

Thanks again for sharing. When watched the first clip, it made me cry a little. I had forgotten how much joy there was in the music that Uncle Jimmy and his friends played.
