Tulsa Blues -- Carlings 1986
In this clip you hear two performances of this obscure blues. First the performance by the Carling family as they perceived it and second the original recording as played in 1924 by Bennie Moten's Kansas City Orchestra. I had never heard this tune before and I'm always amazed how father Hans must have picked this in his training to have the young family become comfortable with early jazz material.
I wish I had known of this tune in my days with the Climax Jazz Band. It would have gotten it a permanent spot on our repertoire. I hope that many today's trad bands after listening to these two versions decide to do so.
Even though the Carling Family is so young in these 1986 clips they show a maturity in their performance level that is far beyond most bands I have listened to in my life.
A great future is in store for them which is now proven when you see and hear them in today's clips .

  • Hans is still around and playing, why has not someone got his sectet of teaching music, if only every child had the opportunity to learn from him.

  • Oh boy, I'm glad I found these YouTube videos from the Carlings and thanks to erwigfilms for letting us see them......One thing that blows me away is the understanding of the music, especially on the part of the younger members. That blues riff Gunhild plays is FAR beyond what I expected from an 11 year old girl...from SWEDEN, no less.....being an old reed man myself, I'm really fond of Max's playing too....they're ALL talented...BRAVO and thanks again for the good music,

  • She can reach the 7th position a little better now than when she was only 9.....lol

  • Too bad Gunhild didn't have a longer ride in this piece..what a blues riff she played....made me want more.

  • Wow! A great tune. I was blown away with Young Gunhild's trombone playing as she started the second chorus. What power and tone!! Loved the last two choruses too - they really get a wonderful sound.Also Hans is one hot horn player. Nice band comparison with Benny and the guys!
