[Dixielandjazz] Overlooked tunes

[Stan Brager]

Ken;

I'm not familiar with "Early Hours". Is it similar to Avery Parrish's 
"After Hours" which was a big hit for Erskine Hawkins and countless 
bar-pianists?

"Early Hours" isn't played that often in U.S.  I suspect it is played
often in Britain.  Really nice bouncy tune.
"Blue Prelude" ----I've never heard it played except on record.
Talk about sad words---please don't sing it----but a haunting
melody.  Was Woody Herman's theme song before "Blue Flame"--
at least I think so.
