Brahms - Symphony No.4

Op.20/3 & Op.20/4

I went to the Michigan State Fair when I was about 15 years old and living in Detroit. They had free musical shows and I went in the tent with a friend and heard the Louis Armstrong group. As I recall he had Barney Bigard, Trummy Young, and Velma Middleton.We loved the show and stayed for the second show. A year or two before that my aunt and uncle took me to see a movie at a downtown theatre that also had a floor show. It turned out to be the Lionel Hampton Big Band. I still remember the band members walking up and down the aisles while playing and Lionel doing one of his famous jumping on the drums thing. As a young kid that all knocked me out.

Symphony No.1

More Red Norvo here along with some good playing by Tal Fallow, Barney Kessel, & Ruby Braff.
