St James Infirmary - Red Allen 1964

Henri Red Allen performs in a 1964 TV show with the very good British Jazz Band of Alex Welsh
Red Allen (1906-1967). His trumpet style has been said by some critics to be the first to fully incorporate the innovations of Louis Armstrong and then go beyond Armstrong. Allen's recordings received much favorable attention. His versatility is shown by his winning of Down Beat awards in both the traditional jazz and the modern jazz categories. In 1959 he joined Kid Ory's band, with whom Allen made his first tour of Europe.

Henry Red Allen was an avant-garde trumpet player who was always ahead of his time. When I was a kid I used to stand outside the Metropole in New York and listen to his music. The great Zutty Singleton was often on drums. They must have had at least 150 years of age between them. They played with the joy and freshness of musicians who had something to say. Real jazz. Thank you again, Jazzbo Bob.

I actually stood inside his home in Algiers. Red Allen's recorded version is my favorite.

It's on Newton St, 70114.
