Temperance Seven, "Charleston" & "Black Bottom"

O.K., so it's not my USUAL choice of music -but this posting is in response to a 'special request' from "RobbieIPA" for these two tracks.
The original Temperance Seven were around during the latter part of my days in London's "New Orleans Revival" jazz clubs, but I always enjoyed their re-creation of the music from the 20's and 30's because it sounded so much like the music my father used to play in those early days (see my previous postings of the T.7).
Enjoy it, Robbie!
(And any other like-minded connoisseurs!)

Mole, these guys are really GOOD! They capture very well the feel and sound of that period much better then many bands who while good, never seem to grab the sound as these guys do. I'm never too big on vocals, I always think they get in the way, but these vocals are pretty darn good too. Thanks.

Thanks for your appreciation, they were (and still are, for me) an extremely entertaining group.

correct me if I'm wrong, but I think both these tracks are running slightly fast -the giveaway being Paul McDowell's higer-pitched vocals - either that or he's wearing tight underpants.

Brilliant, just brilliant!

Summat Monty Python-ish about it all...or maybe Python and the 'Seven' got it from simply being British?!!!! I believe I've got it too! Fab stuff~! Swing dancing is a big thing in Australia at the moment and I bet the Seven (magnificent?) would clean up if they were shimmying around, here, and now!

totally agree - no band has captured the spirit of the early jazz bands except these & bonzos & bob kerr! bilk barber & ball & all those so called trad bands lack the fun & invention! also i LOVE the 'englishness' of these guys! it adds so much more to the whole genre etc etc.......
