  • Stan King was such a stylish and propulsive drummer...he really helps kick this one along!

  • A time when even "modern" architecture had not lost its human connection.This is a wonderful find.Thanks to Mr.T.Warner!

  • In 1942 we used to go downtown looking for old jazz records. I came across this thick record with the "St James Infermary Blues" and bought it. There was a bite out of the side so it sold for 5c. instead of .10. When I got home the "Man from the south" was on the other side! The only way I could sing the "sooooooooooo" was to gargle water at the same time. I still have the record, and for the very first time, today I heard the beginning! What a Christmas present!!!!!!

  • Now that you mention it, seems more likely that it is a Bb Bass Sax, as that is really what Rollini was known for - thanks! :-)

  • I think Rollini is on a B flat Bass. That is way to low for baritone sax.

  • Bloom was also a favourite pianist for Ruth Etting, and the big female singers of the day. Bloom. He had a mastery of the piano that no one else had. Adrian Rollini playing EbBari Sax figures on this record as well.

  • Excellent song and stupendous performance.

  • 240252, Excellent! Regards, J.
