Hope you had a great one, David!

Listening to it again now, after having purchased it (apparently for the second time!). I must be losing it! Sounds even better now. In the words of Sidney Bechet, "I had it, but it's all gone now."

mjzee -- Did you ever go to Sam Goody's? We appear to be about the same age. I still have LPs I bought at Sam Goody's where they cut the plastic wrap in the bottom right corner of the back and wrote in the price in case you wanted to return it.

mjzee: Here's the source of the material on Harmony HS 11316. I assume you can easily obtain the personnel from the information below. Tiger Rag: Louis Armstrong and the All Stars. Dec., 20, 1955. Honeysuckle Rose: Louis Armstrong and the All Stars (from "Satch Plays Fats"). April 26, 1955. Muskrat Ramble. Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five. Feb. 26, 1926. Tin Roof Blues. Louis Armstrong and the All Stars. Oct. 30, 1955. Shine. Louis Armstrong and His Sebastian New Cotton Club Orchestra. March 9, 1931. Basin Street Blues. Louis Armstrong and His Orchestra. Dec. 4, 1928. Body and Soul. Louis Armstrong and His Sebastian New Cotton Club Orchestra. Oct. 9, 1930. Twelfth Street Rag. Louis Armstrong and His Hot Seven. May 11, 1927. St. James Infirmary. Louis Armstrong and His Savoy Ballroom Five. Dec. 12, 1928.

Not that I can recall or find.

Not sure if he's looking out of a window, but it's a good cover:

Excellent one!

You know, I thought that there was a connection when I wrote that. I saw a few references on line to it being based on SATS and must have accepted it based on that phrase in the bridge. Forget I brought up Stuffy.

Ok. I was misinformed. Part of it perhaps?

Sonnymax - They sound different to me. BTW, we're extended neighbors. Newtonville. JSngry - I agree. I tried to check some other tunes based on Stompin' at the Savoy (such as "Byas a Drink" by Don Byas, "Stuffy" by Coleman Hawkins, and "Relaxin' with Lee" by Charlie Parker), but none of them matched the Serge Chaloff variation. My conclusion is that the tune was misidentified at some point, and the error has simply been repeated by others elsewhere. None of the participants (Serge, his brother Richard, nor pianist Rollins Griffith) is around anymore. Perhaps Chaloff just said let's play on the chords to "Stompin'..."

So, I'm listening to the Uptown Serge Chaloff "Boston 1950" album. It includes four duets recorded at home with Chaloff and pianist Rollins Griffith. The tunes are: Billie's Bounce Body and Soul Blue Serge Red Cross The problem is that the tune identified as "Blue Serge" (#12 on the CD) is not the Cherokee contrafact recorded under that name for Dial. Rather, this tune sounds like it's based on "Stompin' at the Savoy." Anyone notice this or have any insights on this?

Our neighborhood DD was shut down during the pandemic and now is "permanently closed."

It appeared later as this:

I think I'll have a whiskey later this evening. For medicinal purposes, of course.

This is a good one! Alain Marquet on clarinet on some as a bonus as well!
