Who's Sorry Now et al - Billy Banks & His Rhythm Makers

To provide insight, please read my comments prior to listening to the music.
The year was 1932 and a set of recordings was made that set the jazz world on fire.These musical gems were considered by many to be fine examples of collective improvisation that should be in every jazz lover's library. Each of these tracks gave intense pleasure to worldwide audiences that, as a friend of mine would say, resulted in an audio orgasm. It all started when impressario Irving Mills wanted to record a new young singer, named Billy Banks and he asked Eddie Condon to pick up a supporting group. Four sessions were recorded and the jazz was so exciting that Banks was left off the last session.The initial recording was purely instrumental and a masterpiece, viz; Bugle Call Rag and I see that it was previously posted on Utube.These young black and white musicians all had individual talent and they combined in a common language to generate some hard hitting jazz. Today, they are all legends !!
The personnel on these tracks is as follows :

April18th, 1932 & May 23rd, 1932 -- New York City
Henry "Red" Allen -- (tp)
Pee Wee Russell -- (cl, ts)
Joe Sullivan -- (p)
Eddie Condon -- (bjo)
Jack Bland -- (g)
Al Morgan -- (b) * *
Zutty Singleton -- (dms)

* * On "Oh ! Peter" I give credit to Morgan, as per my records, however, to me it sounds more like Pops Foster. I wonder if the two dates were mixed ?

July 26th, 1932 -- New York City
Same as the above personnel with the following exceptions:
Jimmy Lord -- (cl)
Pee Wee Russell -- (ts)
Fats Waller - (p)
Pops Foster -- (b)

Turn up the volume, pour yourself a glass of wine and sit back to hear about 15minutes of great music.

You are absolutely the best poster on youtube. You've got research, information and blow-by-blow comments so we are not left wondering who did what. I just shared this with "C'mon Stomp. Stomp, Stomp" on face book. C'mon over if you get a chance.

I love it! I have a tape of these numbers, some of which are different takes and I play it a lot in my car. I was just 2 years old when these were recorded.

extremely well done. I'm listening now to Yellow dog blues, The last track of the full 14.50 minute tape. Compliments on the whole production, You should do more of these eudio tapes, Very instructional for interested young musicians who want to learn more about the real jazz.
