My collection has exactly six minutes and 13 seconds of the Papa Bues Viking Jazz Band, but I've always loved those two tracks. They are from a Scotti Bros. CD that was one of a series from 1992 that released music from the 1969 New Orleans Jazz Fest. Part of the appeal is the unusual choice of tunes: the Vikings play "Doin' the Voom Voom," an early Ellington piece, and Arthur Marshall's rag "Kinklets." Both of them are played with style, and the band swings really nicely.

Whatever deficiencies some of them have, European trad bands often play more interesting, long-forgotten material than similar American bands. I've always liked Ken Colyer, partly for that reason.

If my memory hasn't entirely failed, I have a recording featuring Will Bill Davison that I like quite a bit. (Haven't heard it in quite a while, which is where the 'memory' part comes in.)
