Very nice version of the tune. Especially fatalistic that Ray would later record this tune (Jerry Gray arrangement instead) as a big hit with the Miller AAF Band. Anyway, I am completely carried away by the riffin' brass section at the end. Consider all that brassy sound with just 3 trpt + 3 bones! Remember that the trpts are tighly spaced up around written g2, with the 1st bone around an 8va below the 2nd trpt. Pretty tight and brassy sound for such wide spacing! Very Impressive me thinks!

This is a rather NOISY version of " Saint Louis Blues " and one should listen to the 1929 recording with the great Louis Armstrong
