"The Darktown Strutters Ball" -Miff Mole and his Molers
Loading...
Uploaded by MoleDFigg on May 30, 2009
When Irving Milfred "Miff" Mole, a native New Yorker, met up with Ernest Loring "Red" Nichols from Ogden, Utah in the mid-1920's a band, or a series of bands, formed around them that created a style of jazz separate from the established Chicago and New Orleans styles. Although relatively short-lived, the "New York" style bands were the proving grounds for many famous jazz and swing musicians; such as Jimmy Dorsey, Adrian Rollini, Eddie Lang, Chauncey Morehouse, Frank Teschmacher, Eddie Condon, Charlie Teagarden, Wingy Manone, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa -and so on. This track was recorded in New York on the 7th. March 1927 and features:- Miff Mole; tmb. Red Nichols; tpt. Jimmy Dorsey; clt. & alto sax, Arthur Schatt; pno. Dick McDonough; bjo. & gtr. Joe Tarto; brass bass, and Ray Bauduc dms.

I always think of the Tom and Jerry cartoons when I hear this song.
-
me and my pal used to listen to the molers almost none stop in the 1970's and all our school friends thought we were mad. It still turns me on now when I hear them. The greatest. My old friend presented me a while ago with a set of these sides on Parlophone 78's, having managed to collect for himself a set on the U.S. OKeh label. A treasured possession.

I saw Miff in 1956 playing his ass off on crutches propped against a wall!
Spoke with him on the break..told him I was a new trombone player..
He told me to play until my lip was bleeding, and then keep going! I partially attribute my high level in the business to that advice that day!
Just keep on playing, he said!

Your home page says you are 60 years old. So you were just 5 when you saw Miff Mole?

I have noticed others videos chopped lately. What's the deal on this? Is this accidental or some new policy or what?

Hi Scott,
I've no idea why "clipping" by YouTube occurs, but I have been told to make sure that the 'visuals' continue past the 'audio' and, I must say, this appears to work.
Best regards, Clive.

Did you mean 'cavalry' or were you referring to his crucifiction?
