My goodness... this is "Willow Tree" from the March 27, 1928 session of the Lousiana Sugar Babes. Fats on organ, Garvin Bushell on clarinet, Jabbo Smith on cornet and the greatest of them all, James P. Johnson at the piano. Wonderful selection!

RIP, Bucky Pizzarelli

Thanks a lot for the background on the art gallery. Very interesting.

I'm in the middle of a Pee Wee binge!

While making some research in order to complete my Pee Wee Russell collection with some uncommon sessions, I came across this compilation on Atavistic label. It was originally released as a limited-edition audio companion piece for Corbett Vs. Dempsey's "Musician<->Artist" gallery opening in Chicago, December 3, 2004, under the name "Eye & Ear". It includes a wide range of music, from a Dave Coleman session from 1943 (with the likes of Dexter Gordon, Bill Harris or Herbie Steward!) to one Peter Brötzmann duo track with Han Bennink (2004). The Pee Wee Russell track dates from 1950, and is a duo performance of 'Jada' with pianist Michael Snow. Weird comp, for sure!

More unrestricted Pee Wee...

Good to know he’s doing alright. Thanks, Lon.

Last visit was in March 2017. I hope everything’s fine with him. I miss his very knowledgeable posts on early jazz.

A favourite! 👍🏿

There ain’t nothing like Ben’s sound on tenor sax!

Sure! And a ver nice and helpful guy, anytime.
