"The Beale Street Blues" - The Shotgun Jazz Band

[@peggygunther7947]

Was fuer ein Weltklasse Song gespielt von Marla Ihren Jungs...absolut Weltklasse die Improvisationen....die schreiende Klarinette das polternde Trombone......die kreischende trompete..das stoische Drums und das stoische Banjo....absoluter traditional Jazz ...so haben Sie vor hundert Jahren in New Orleans auch gespielt...da bleibt das Herz stehen.......besser geht es nicht mehr....

Es spielt niemand Schlagzeug. Nur mal so am Rande erwähnt. Sie haben es so eher nicht vor 100 Jahren gespielt, aber da waren wir noch nicht dabei. Begründung: Damals waren die meisten Musiker technisch schwach und die Intonation war teilweise grauenhaft. Die Musiker heute haben den Stil adaptiert, aber sind technisch von einer ganz anderen Klasse. Charlie Holloran spielt hier in etwa ganz im Stile Kid Orys, bei seinem Solo. Singen tut übrigens Ben Polcer. Marla spielt überhaupt nicht mit.

Amazing performance. Ben Polcer is brilliant on trumpet, piano and as singer. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

[@stangosnell1201]

It's a great tune, too rarely heard, and they did the whole thing, which is even rarer. I like it.

[@stewartfenton7660]

This is great James, don't seem to have seen it before. Let's hear it for that tip bucket!

[@JamesSterling]

A great tune. You'll enjoy this version by Ben where he sings and plays the piano also. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppOpeJRmi9R0rqs

@@JamesSterling thanks, just watched that too, and it's good. But this is inspired. I think it's because Marla's as good on tip bucket as she is on trumpet. What do you mean, I'm obsessed with Marla?

But this performance of W.C. Handy's song aside: W.C.Handy heard an old guy in the station at Tutwiler playing and singing a song that really grabbed his attention, and seemingly led to his becoming known as, "The Father of the Blues", I think it is. But that music he heard was almost undoubtedly an early version of what we now know as the Blues. Nothing I've ever heard from W.C. Handy remotely resembles this. He just seemed to do boring orchestral music that needs someone like the Shotgun Band to make it interesting, but this is still not the blues. I must be missing something because I repeat,what on earth has W.C.Handy got to do with the blues?
