[Dixielandjazz] Joe Avery's Tune

[Tom Duncan]

This is a fun tune for New Orleans flavor (remember the James Bond film
where the street band plays a dirge, stops to pick up a fresh corpse in a
false bottomed coffin, and breaks into an up tempo Joe Avery's Tune as they
march off) or as march or second line tune.

I also know it as "The New Second Line."

Heard Michael White and the Original Liberty Jazz Band just before the end
of the year at the Village Vanguard and they called it "Shake It and Break
It." Steve Pistorius said that it is essentially the same tune except for
maybe one chord. Is it the same tune with a minor variation and are there
other names for this tune?
