The Black Diamond Blue Five Jazz Band, with Leon Oakley, continues the 
tradition of Armstrong and Bechet.  They play many of the arrangements 
of Clarence Williams the same way the hot bands of the Twenties and 
Thirties did it, with a bluesy pop-jazz sound, the finest stomp beat, 
intensity and talent.
