Beautiful! Good sound!

[bixntram]

Great rendition - and in concert Db! My brass band does it (not very well) in Eb, but after playing along on my trumpet, I like this key better. You guys are great!

[Cheekychives]

Excellent - they really are The Kings Of Frog Island.

Moto3b3.You have said it!He,Jelly Roll,was and is inimitable.His recordings with his first Red Hot Peppers gave us some of the best JAZZ ever played or recorded.And that cornet player,George Mitchell,one of the if not the very best ever!

Jelly Roll said: New Orleans Jazz, Chicago Jazz, it's all Jelly Roll jazz. So Piggie58, we might just call it jazz. I have never heard a touch like his on the piano even from accomplished classic musicians. For a simply example of it, try listening to "Mamie's Blues." It'll knock your hat off.

This is as near as I have ever heard to giving an imitation of Jelly Roll. But nobody can imitate his magical touch which is so soft and effortless. This piece does a close job of it.
