Really the Blues -- Bechet 1938
Really the Blues was a recording done in New York under the name of Tommy Ladnier and his Orchestra. Tommy on trumpet, Sydney Bechet on clarinet and another mainplayer in and around Bechet was American clarinetist Mezz Mezzrow. Pianist Cliff Jackson piano, Teddy Bunn guitar, Elmer James bass and Manzie johnson was the drummer.
This tune was composed by Mezz Mezzrow who some 8 years later wrote his life story in a book which he also called "Really The Blues".
