The H5JM give this old war-horse a face-lift with a latin beat. Kid Ory composed it in 1926, just before a Louis Armstrong Hot Five recording session and Lil Armstrong came up with the title.
This video clip comes from a "Hot Five Jazzmakers" concert June 23/95 during the Toronto Downtown Jazz Festival. Charlie Gall, (originally a joint founder of Glasgow's Clyde Valley Stompers), is on trumpet. Guesting on drums is Graham Scriven, on vacation from England and visiting his son Gary. The rest of the band - Brian Towers - trombone/leader; Janet Shaw - alto & clarinet; Rainer Hunck - banjo and Colin Bray - string bass.
Yeah!!!! I think Ory would have dug this latin groove-I sure do!
