Come Back Sweet Papa - Portena Jazz Band 1972

Come Back Sweet Papa - Portena Jazz Band 1972
It wasn't until the early nineties that I found out about Argentina's Portena Jazz Band. A Canadian friend who had a large collection of LP's told me and then gave me four of the early Portena LP's. Already then I was amazed by their sound, their passion and their perfection to recreate the early sounds of jazz without having to copy every played solo. I am just checking through these LP's from the sixties and quite a few members were replaced, but the band never lost the essence of playing good early big band jazz.
In this clip they feature washboard player Norberto Mendez in a Louis Armstrong's 'Come Back Sweet Papa', which Louis recorded first with his Hot Five in 1926

In the band in 1972: Martin Muller co, Jose A Conci co, Luis Terreil tb, Ignacio Mazzanti ss, as, ts, Ricardo Martin as, cl, Gino Castello as, cl,
Tito Romero pno, Raul Grano Cortines bjo, Saul Lotenberg tu and Norberto Mendez

My father was the first trombone player of La Portena Jazz Band. :D

Altogether too much emphasis on the washboard guy. Why focus on the washboard when the banjo is playing? Must have struck the Latins as amusingly quaint.

Nevertheless, this is the best rendition of CBSP accompanied by a video on YouTube. Thank you for posting this.

Esta pelicula da demasiado emphasis en el instrumento "whashboard".

Sorry, I should have gone a bit further South. This great band is from Buenos Airies, Argentina.

These great Brazilian musicians, just like the Europeans, get the sound of the early jazz . They swing and they are hot.
