Subject: Excellent Rendering

This is the old New Orleans Jazz, with a rendering that stands up even almost 60 years later. I first heard this tune by Chris Barber's Jazz Band, and I love it every time I hear it. The recording is clean, and the small combo makes every instrument stand out clearly. Can't say as much for Sidney Bechet's version. That one is good, but the reediness hurts my ears.

Subject: Blues with Sunshine

Even though this is a blues piece, Monty Sunshine makes it feel happy with his clarinet!
