"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Happy Feet Friday
From 1939, Earl "Fatha" Hines and the Grand Terrace Orchestra perform one of my all time hot and wide-open swing instrumentals, Father Steps In.
I'm hearing the great sax. Can't find any listing of the band except that all the greats seem to have played with Hines, and Parker and Gillespie got their start with him. This was the B Side, the A Side was a foxtrot!:
Good figuring! I have a cd with this tune, and according to the liner notes, the tenor saxes were Budd Johnson and Robert Crowder (Leroy Harris on alto sax).

Budd Johnson and Leroy Harris on saxes?
ReplyDeleteThe first sax solo just knocks me out.
The greats of the saxophone era live on in Charles LLoyd:
