This American group features much improvisation in most of their pieces, but I was very taken with this piece - improvisation or not, jazz or not.
This has been identified by Alex as "You Do Me Any Old Way" by Big Bill Broonzy. It does share a verse with Elmore James' song. Any comments on the trumpet player?
Not Stan Getz. I included this artist to see if I could get away with it, if that makes sense. He has a distinctive sound which I thought would be instantly recognizable to those familiar with him, but this is a very untypical recording by him.
I have to give you this one, Bill - it's not just someone in the J. J. Johnson tradition, it's Johnson himself. Maybe Hardbopjazz can tell us more about this track, which gets to me deeply every time I hear it.
Bit of research suggests it's from J J's Quintergy: Live at the Vanguard, recorded in 1988 with Stanley Cowell on piano, Rufus Reid bass and Victor Lewis drums.
I can't find that CD right now. I believe you are right Bill.
