Neville Dickie & Danny Coots - "At The Jazz Band Ball"

http://www.nevilledickie.com
This tune is titled, " At The Jazz Band Ball," and was composed by Nick LaRocca and Larry Shields of the Original Dixieland Jass Band.
This was one of several numbers that I recorded in a fantastic set on a Friday morning at the Hilton Hotel-Costa Mesa during the 8th annual Orange County Classic Jazz Festival.
This was the first time that Neville Dickie and Danny Coots had ever played together, and the results were pure musical magic!
I collected some real musical/video gems at this one venue.
Please visit Neville's website shown above for information and his spectacular collection of 14 CD's that can be ordered on line.

Here are the lyrics as sung by Bing Crosby -

Back when a nickel would buy
A jug jigger of respectable rye
Yeah, the players in the honky tonks
would have to work on a slide
One, two, was known to a few
Some steady habitues too
So the word of mouth spread around the south
Very entrez-nous

You better dig that jazz band ball
Cause it's the ball of them all
All five positions in the small saloon
inventin' the rag time tune
Because they made up their own brand
without a note up on the stand
and they called it D.I.X.I.E.
hot pan alley candy land

Well sir you know it caught on
What's more it was strictly bontom
Cause like the winner at the starting gate
The music got it and gone
It moved from over the tracks
Into the society shacks
It was wonderful
and deductible...from the income tax

You better dig that jazz band ball
Cause it's the ball of them all
When the trumpet player takes a monologue
the people shout "well ooh that dog"
And if you ask how come that yell
They kinda grin then say well
When the band plays J.A. double zee
It's a B.A. double L
When the band plays J.A. double zee
It's a B.A. double L
