Kid Thomas Valentine and the Algiers Stompers/Hall Brothers Jazz Band (Jazzology). A $1.00 purchase from the used record store down the street. The band is half New Orleans guys and half Minnesotans. It's pretty good, except that a couple of the Minnesota musicians sound pretty amateurish. Young Butch Thompson sounds good on clarinet, though.

(Edit): Later - side two. Kid Thomas and the boys are now playing "One Night" by Fats Domino. I've always loved how Valentine had no sense of himself as a "jazz musician." He'd play anything the people wanted to hear, but it always came out Kid Thomas style.
