Creole Jazz - Hot Five Jazzmakers -

Here are the Hot Five Jazzmakers vintage June 18 1999 again -- all six of them! The band recorded this tune on CD also, some nine months later in March 2000 with the same line-up. The album is called "Did You Mean It?" and is still available.

Gary Scriven played drums & washboard with the H5JM for 7 years from 1995-2002. Gary is the son of Graham, who plays drums on other H5JM video clips. Reide Kaiser became the band's regular pianist for 4 years from October 1998 and appears on two of the band's CD's. Colin Bray played string bass from 1990-2003. Rainer Hunck played both bass and banjo with the group. On bass from 1988-90 and banjo from 1990-2004. This cut was made to help promote the Toronto Downtown Jazz Festival

Yes, it does sound like a De Paris brothers composition but it is not!

Actually written by Claude Luter, the great French clarinetist from the revival period. He wrote and recorded it in 1959. We picked it up from a German band but I believe Acker Bilk did it as well, though I have not heard his version. cheers, BT

What's the story on this tune? - almost sounds like something the DeParis Bros would have done. Who wrote it? Are there lyrics?
