Just a Closer Walk with Thee - December Band 1965

Just a Closer Walk with Thee - December Band 1965

On the Jazzology website the music of the band you see and hear in this clip is available on two CD's under the name of Capt. John Handy and his New Orleans Stompers.

Captain John Handy ( 1900-1970) is one of the most exciting and important musicians playing in the New Orleans idiom and yet he is almost totally unrecognized. One of the reasons is that there is an old die-hard idea that the saxophone has no place in a New Orleans Jazz Band and other is that he has made such few recordings. He lived all his life in New Orleans.
The band consists of four musicians from the early New Orleans tradition. Next To Capt. John Handy on alt sax there are Kid Thomas Valentine trumpet, Jim Robinson trombone and Sammy Penn drums.
From the young generation are Sammy Rimmington clarinet, Bill Sinclair piano, Dick Griffith banjo, and Dick McCarthy bass.

I'm somewhat fond of the "Just a Closer Walk - Kid Howard" version watch?v=JX69JJ-3D7s.

This version is nice but the sound quality isn't the best unfortunately.
