When my grandpa (Pappa) died, this was played at his funeral... Thank you for posting, and RIP Pappa Carrol!

Listening to George Lewis' great music gives my soul very profound feeling every time and makes me forget all my troubles in life.

It's my favorite song.I've never been to New Orleans but I can feel the air of the town by this music.

This is so beautiful, it made me cry.

[@lowellthomasjr.468]

This is one of my very favorite clarinet solos, ever !

Gorgeous. Sublime. George Lewis sooooooooooo underrated.

I found George Lewis’s original trio version of Burgundy Street Blues perhaps the most exquisite and moving jazz masterpiece I have ever heard. I am very sorry not being able to find among the many versions recorded by Lewis, now commercially available, precisely this that I love most. My heartfelt thanks to those who have recorded, filmed and made available here.

Pure New Orleans Soul!!! Burgundy street on By Water neighbohood just off the French Quarter.

Cette version, que je ne connaissais pas, me parait être la meilleure, plus spontanée et tellement émouvante. On a "les cheveux qui se dressent sur la tête" On y voit l'ébauche du stop chorus en 2'10, qui sera bien plus net par la suite Un grand merci pour cette trouvaille

Absolutely beautiful! Ever read Tom Sancton's, "Song for My Fathers?" It's all about Preservation Hall and all those great jazz pioneers.

[@maikee9599]

I am reading it right now and I got to the point where Tom heard George Lewis and his clarinet for the very first time. And now a whole new world is opening up to me....

The "with Monette Moore" is my favourite recording of Burgundy Street. Would love to see it on youtube, too. This recording is so good, too. Love the images used. Thanks for posting it. One little tiny beef - the youtube video ends before the final two notes are played. I'd rather have a bit of silence at the end of the video than have the last bit of the music missing.

@MrNonny3 I had this film on a VHS casette from where I copied it. Glad that you like it. Yours KliKo
