And I can't resist piggybacking off that thread to plug a song written by
clarinetist Steve Matthes and recorded by Black Swan Classic Jazz Band in
2005 with Marilyn Keller on vocals named "Sweet Mama Stringbean". The song
is reflective of Ethel Waters' time with the Black Swan Phonograph Company
and includes all of the titles she recorded with Black Swan in the lyrics.
It's a nice tune: Steve did a good job and Marilyn and the band present it
well.
If you're interested in getting a copy of the CD you can check out the "This
Joint is Jumpin'" CD on our web site at www.bscjb.com. If you are interested
in the "Sweet Mama Stringbean" track only, you can hear a sample and obtain
a digital download at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/bscjb2.
