You took advantage of me - Wild Bill Davison in Bern 1985

[@robertduis6730]

Wonderful Melody! Fantastic Musicians!

[@mrjimmienoone2130]

Wild Bill was 79 when he played here. Gives us old geezers some hope that we can play for some more years.

[@STEAMBOATSTOMPERS]

and he still played cornet. When I was 50 years old a professional musician told me "take a trumpet - you are getting to old to play the cornet".

Nice feeling with.

[@novelliification]

Turma de veteranos classe A. Da gosto de ouvi-los!!

[@novelliification]

Turma boa, Wild Bill Davison sempre foi um excelente e notável trompetista, Bob Wilber dispensa comentários, notável tanto no clarinet como no sax soprano e a destacar a presença do grande guitarrista, Buck Pizzarelli, pai do John.

[@Jorgest7]

Grande performance ...

[@15emac]

what a great story & memory! I have played the grooves off those 10" commodore LP's by Wild Bill & Mugsey Spanier

[@alisaeidaei]

is very nice thanks

[@andrewtweeddale8628]

I saw Wild Bill playing in 1980. During the concert I sneezed and he stopped playing and walked to the front of the stage and said: "young man, that was out of key". Just wanted to die.

[@STEAMBOATSTOMPERS]

He had tons of humour, not only with his cornet

[@DogbiteW]

Great anecdote. Thanks for posting.

[@williamrappaport9203]

Hello again from Ottawa! What a nice narrative you wrote(Mr.erwigfilms about one of my best friends in jazz(the others were Bud Freeman,Jonah Jones and Al Grey). I'm a visual artist(painter) and have done LP artwork for a few Jazz legends(most notably: Artie Shaw & Wild Bill Davison & Al Grey. Wild Bill had a heat attack in Ottawa and the Chateau Laurier found a substitute, so I spent a whole evening with Bill and his(what a saint!) wife. When she left the room, he opened-up his trumpet case(under the pretext of showing his trumpet to me)and enjoyed a shot of something colourless from a small valve oil bottle..."Wild Bill". Check out my cover art on Bill's 1999 Jazzology Recording: "Wild Bill in New Orleans" JCD-170. David W. Jones.

Love O'l Wild Bill. Check out his version of "Blue and broken hearted". The man could blow that horn. He never brought anything home with him it was all left on stage. Benny Goodman's version of this number isn't too shabby either.

[@kingusmcgee]

Definitely, Dick Wellstood (1927-1987) on piano

[@kcuhca1953]

i guess its really not important from a sound standpoint-they sound great- but that is bob havens on trombone. he was on the welk show for years and i have records with his picture also!

[@jas026able]

Bob Havens played violin at the beginning of his career, then he listened to Jack Teagarden records and the rest is history.

[@dcabana1]

Chuck Crawford Bob Havens ,one of the best t bone players I’ve ever heard..A great solo here,very creative,and melodic!

[@dcabana1]

Chuck Crawford Bob Havens,right up there with Teagarden.Super bone player!

[@michaelsammin9055]

A great song played by a great band led by the greatest trumpet player of the 20th century.

[@laurielyon7740]

Great Bob Wilbur solo...........among others, natch!

[@geraldnichols2722]

As to the discussion of who is on trombone, I agree it isn't Havens but Allred.

[@klikonojazz]

But Bob Wilber plays clarinet here!

[@kingusmcgee]

And I think Milt Hinton on bass. For a moment, I thought the guy on trumpet looked and sounded like Ruby Braff.

[@久野隆三]

BIX.に、始まったswing dixie.、、E.condonが完成！！　、、その、佳き頃の、、残ったplayerの、落日として輝いたこの、演奏！！　　　、、今、２１世紀に、振り返ってみると、、20世紀の JAZZは、二度と、戻らない！！　　、、、レコードを、大切にしようね。

[@eriknorlin4287]

he mightve heard bix play this?

[@jas026able]

Jake Hanna on drums, here's to Dorchester and three families.

[@kcuhca1953]

that isn't bill allred on trombone thats bob havens!

[@jackwar8779]

Did Havens play with Lawence Welk for some years?

[@bobboscarato1313]

Yes, but is not Havens who plays bone here!

[@STEAMBOATSTOMPERS]

Certainly here (I thought always) Wild Bill played cornet (not trumpet). Anyway, nobody could make his "dirty" sound on a trumpet.
