Avalon - The Harlem Ramblers, Acker Bilk, Humphrey Lyttelton

1982, featuring Acker Bilk cl, Humphrey Lyttelton tp and Henry Chaix p.

The Harlem Ramblers Dixieland Jazzband from Zurich, Switzerland was founded in 1955, and, after various changes, settled down in 1969 to a well knit group. The band members were Guenter Sellenath (Tp), Tabis Bachmann (Cl), Thedy Schuetz (Tb), Chris Mitchell (Bj), John Treichler (B), and Gerry Ceccaroni (Dr).

The band is still going strong with the hard core of Guenter, Thedy, Chris, and Gerry. The newest members are Hans Schlaepfer on Bass since 2002, and since 2005, Wastl Berger, Clarinet and Saxophone. For more information, please visit the Homepage. www.harlemramblers.ch

Very unusual for Acker to screw up on the 4bar tags, but he is still great in my book. I've been in Canada too long and I sure miss the drive and swing of bands like this one back in the 50's and 60's.

Maybe they were just that tad short on rehearsal time ... interesting to see Acker and Humph together, although no-one seems to be quite up to speed on this one - although Henry Chaix's doing his best to hold it all together ...

Rubbish,man this clarinet is brilliant and makes Acker look like a schoolboy with his first recorders
