In 1991 Mac Randle had a Chicago Style jazz band with the Soprano Sax leading instead of the usual Trumpet. The band played weekly at the Princethorpe Club, a popular jazz venue between Coventry and Rugby. The Sidney Bechet influence is obvious, particularly in this famous Bechet piece, but absolutely no attempt to seek comparisons.
This particular Boxing Day session was a very busy and noisy affair but we all enjoyed the festive spirit. Quite a few visiting musicians stopped by and had a blow.
Recorded by Bill Torrance on Boxing Day 1991 at the Princethorpe Club and recently processed by Midnitesun with further editing by Remsys.
