[Dixielandjazz] Long Songs

[Don Ingle]

I have two I would suggest.
"What's the Use"  - I heard Eddie Miller and Matty MAtlockl exchange 12 
choruses - EACH - on it in a jam at the Old Club 47 onStudior City in 
the late 40's. And every take was as good as it has ever gotten/period.
My 17-year old ears got educated in the art of non-repetitive creation. 
Each take was new.

My second would be "Shimmy S' Wabble. Have heard a number of bands have 
a long run at it, but no one every beat Jim Cullum's gang as they built 
layer upon layer of changing mood, solo placement and gradually build to 
a climax -- something they do as few current bands do. A joy in both cases.
