[Dixielandjazz] Just a song to hear...

[Bob Cassady]

I just wanted to share this (because I can)...

Write-up:

This one should be entitled the song of big lungs! High Society has also
been covered in the Jazz Clubs section, but Al and the guys do a different
number again. It all starts out the same - nice chorus with Bob Havens doing
a great hovering harmony. The thing about Al Hirt is that you can always
count on him to play every note perfectly - leaving out none. You wanna hear
the melody? You got the melody!! Harold does the obligatory Picou chorus,
and Ronnie glides a nice piano solo - and Al takes and holds a note for 14
bars!!!!!! I have watched this guy do this, and there ain't no
circle-breathing going on here!!!
