I hope you will cover that session as well - and before 2013!!!!<br />But there are so many wonderful Satchmo sessions - including those of mid July 1954 (the Handy sessions of course) that will never be forgotten!<br /><br />The best - and much power to you!<br />Håkan ForsbergHåkan Forsberghttp://hakan.forsberg@umea.bonet.senoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7323643089904400443.post-79124671894582078642011-05-19T07:17:17.022-04:002011-05-19T07:17:17.022-04:00Thank you!

An intimite approach to a legend with such heartwarming features. You can't get enough of him, can you? 1936, another good year. Your info gives added value, esp. your comments on Pops Foster, certainly a great bass player in his days!Bo Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248649036542964097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7323643089904400443.post-30032211989781449982011-05-18T18:11:06.275-04:002011-05-18T18:11:06.275-04:00Wonderful post!

Is there any suggestion of who plays the trumpet obligato behind Louis's vocals in "Red Nose"? Leonard Davis, Gus Aiken or Louis Bacon? Pity that the orchestra in the background is nearly faded out at this point.Uwe Zänischhttp://satchmotube.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7323643089904400443.post-72449936303823867432011-05-18T09:37:49.857-04:002011-05-18T09:37:49.857-04:00Brilliantly perceptive as always Ricky.

It's meant to be only 40 seconds long, just in case you only want to hear the solo. The complete performance is the link right above it.
