Thank You , I Grew Up Listening to Muggsy Spanier & His Ragtime Band in St.Louis Mo. in 1973 I got the Book and an Old Phonograph with 33's . . The avant-garde faction led to the jazz style known as bebop. The white trumpeter Muggsy Spanier's Ragtimers recorded ODJB, King Oliver and Louis Armstrong Hot Five repertoire in 1939 using a string bass. :) QC
I've never heard that bebop came out of dixieland. All of the bebop players came through swing big bands and combos. Parker's biggest early influences were Lester Young and Buster Smith while Gillespie's was Roy Eldrige.
Luca Pelliccioli => Yes that is true and ....Louis Armstrong does it in Key of "A" because the band is playing this tune in "G". Good exercise to improvise in 3 x # !
Do any of you serious jazz fans out there know anything about the tenor player on this jazz classic, Ray McKinstry? He sounds awfully like Eddie Miller! Could it have been Eddie Miller using an assumed name for contract reasons, or was there a Ray McKinstry? As someone who shares his surname, I'd love to know!
I’m finding out at age 50 that my real last name was Greenberg. I don’t know yet how, but I am related to the drummer Marty Greenberg and possibly one of the most famous Greenberg’s ever. I can verify Marty, anyone other Greenberg descendants around?? 🥁
Nice to hear the trumpet player doing the original solo recorded by Louis Armstrong!
Yes indeed, really nice, louis solo becomes a part of the song
It's a Cornet.
Thank you for uploading.
Here's hoping you're still blowing that great horn Muggsy as you continue your journey.
Thanks Mugsy for all the great music.

Great music by great musicians; unlike the rap crap and hip hop sh*t that passes for music today.
Too right! Rap is crap.

I was always under the impression it was Nick Ciaiza on Tenor
My cousin George Zack is the piano player on this cut.
Would it be any chance that he remembers the rest of the lineup. There is much interest on this info among Jazz connaisseurs.
precioso !!!!
