After "Endurance Stomp", the other two tunes are "Tuxedo Stomp" and "Brown Skin Mama". Jimmy Blythe made piano rolls of both these tunes. I have not yet found information on the 88-note versions, but A-roll versions of both tunes survive.
The roll of "Brown Skin Mama" can be heard on the CD "Jelly's Blues: 57 Different Kinds of Blues Vol 3" on the Pianomania label, while the roll of "Tuxedo Stomp" can be heard transcribed and played by Nathan Bello on his private-issue CD "Windy City Blues".
Thanks! Let me correct myself - could that be Bill Johnson doing the shouting? He seems to have been the perfect guy to have at a rent-party, a sort of one-man enthusiasm club!
great solo from 1:19-1:50 here! Excellent hot piano background work throughout as well! (check out the background to the clarinet and sax from 6:19 to 6:51). His other solo from 6:52 to 7:24 is a masterpiece of economy.
Hey Andrew, what are the names of the different tunes we hear here?
P.S. I think the guy with the high-pitched voice doing all the exclamations in each tune is Frankie "Half-Pint" Jaxon, with additional commentary by Jimmy Blythe himself :)
Me gusta mucho este estilo,saltarín y muy rítmico.
