David Sager : “an insouciant melody with a hip lyric almost irresistibly tossed off here by Monette Moore (with some engaging fiddling by Edgar Sampson behind her). Perhaps the thing most will remember about this recording is the stabbing, biting trumpet of Jabbo Smith, then only 19 years old and with so much to say musically. But we also should not ignore the inventive drumming of the little-recorded George Stafford. Uneasiness pervades, however, due to the band’s rushing the tempo. In just over three minutes, they pick up about 24 beats per minute by the end of the performance.”

That is an amazing trumpet part – hearing trumpets like that always makes me think of Jungle Book – I Wanna Be Like You 🙂

Isn’t it wonderful that there is so much to discover about the 1900s on the internet alone? Only a couple of decades ago, this kind of challenge wouldn’t have been possible.

True, eh? I discovered a lot of songs I like, during this challenge. As well as discovering that I do like 1920s jazz. It isn’t a music that it chatches you right away, and it’s true that I’ve learned to appreciate it while learning about its history. But now I really enjoying listen to it 🙂

I stumbled upon so many good songs from the Twenties in this month. Truly, this challenge hightened my appreciation for that music 🙂
