Grandpa's Spells - Peruna Jazzmen 1988
Here is a clip of a tune composed and initially recorded by Jelly Roll Morton and his Red Hot Peppers in 1926.
The Peruna Jazzmen do a superb version of this tune. They follow the Morton arrangement but throw in their own fire in the improvisational parts. Hopefully one day I have a chance to sit first row when they play their beautiful music.
Michael Zuschlag 1st cornet since 1973, Peter Aller 2nd cornet since 1960, Claus Forchhammer clarinet since 1960, Arne Hoejberg trombone since 1959, Annette Strauss piano since 1974, John Neess banjo since 1975, Mil Schack washboard since 1974 and Lea Hechmann sousaphone since 1960.
Morton really comes to life in this clip. I must have listened to his recording of this title a thousand times , but to actually be able to see the music being played adds another dimension. You guys are fantastic. You give me so much pleasure.
