Changed the title to the album released in 2002....probably recorded in the later 70's. The last dance for a bunch a great musicians from the 30s/40s/50s/60s. This is a wonderful album. Gene Krupa was such a great drummer. Worth a listened to the whole album, IMHO.
A raucously great live session with Wild Bill Davison and a bunch of hot band guys.....

(24,610 posts)Sounds like something they were shabooming to back in the 30s/40s. Ken and Dave were keeping it tight.

(24,610 posts)Everyone should know this. This was a "you have to play it, if you are a serious jazz band - improv always invited" type challenge back in the 40s/50's. And it's being re-interpreted today (see Wyton Marsallis and "Sweet Georgia Brown" . See how many bands played this and"Sweet Georgia Brown". These were the signature songs to compare....

(24,610 posts)I was at a bar in Zhongshan, China, PRC back in 1994. It was owned by my now partner and I was an early inestor. So, I'm in mainland China in '94 and we Americans, were rock-stars. They loved Bill Clintom and the USA and the coming world. Where we all spoke business (English). I had folks at the bar stand in a line to say "hello" in English and have a 3 sentence conversation....but they truly loved us and what we were conveying. In a raising tide, all boats float".
Anyways, I had an MP3 album with Louis Armstrong, Dead, Stones, Traffic and such. And the song that they visibly liked most was "China Boy"....it moved them - and few, if any, knew the racist routes of the music. Because, they got it. So did Phil Boutelje and Dick Winfree, I guess.
