Fritzel's Digga Digga Brahms-Bourbon St.

Jim Hession-piano,Ryan Burrage-clarinet,Jacques Gauthe-clarinet,Bryan Besse-drums
A totally improvised "arrangement" of Digga Digga Doo.... We are all fortunate that we have a background in similar source material(i.e. classical music). The three Musketeers (as Jacques referred to the front line) spent much of the playing time on stage trying to out-do each other and make each other laugh. It is obvious from this video, how much JOY Jacques Gauthe (1939-2007) brought to the bandstand. Damn it,Jacques, we miss you.We hoped to share so much more music with you.J&M

@tjbeach65

We had some good times as the "Three Musketeers" at the jazz club in New Orleans..........sorry to say the club changed owners and now it is just status quo...........................­......

@jazznbear Just for general info..........this is jazz in the purest form...no arrangements...or pre-conceived patterns............just spontaneous joy....................a rather rare happening!
