Thanks for subscribing! Alas, I don't have "Doin' The Racoon" by Tal Henry, and I admit, I never heard that rendition. Here, you'll find Doin' The Racoon played e.g. by Olson's band etc.

Wow. Had to come hear this remarkable hot thing again. I hear some McKinney Cotton Pickers and Ben Pollack band influences in this red hot jazz flame! I wonder what gramma thought when her favorite John McCormick record that sat on her victrola turntable had been replaced by this thing when her flapper grand daughter stopped by to spend a holiday!

[2reeler]

Whoopee! Burn my clothes!

Great number and a great 1928 band. 5* Without hearing them it's to believe Rust when he dismisses the six 1934 Bluebird sides as "of no jazz interest". But then I think of Lombardo....

I love your vid. I wonder... where do you get all those images! Wonderful.

[barbcard]

Vigorous and lively. Wakes me up for the day as I "shimmy" in my chair.

[HarborGuy]

Wonderful in every way!

Why am I reminded of McKinney's Cotton Pickers when I listen to this? Very VERY similar instrumental presentation. Very much influenced by the Fletcher Henderson-by-way-of-Don Redman arranging style.
