[Dixielandjazz] Ice Cream - Marsalis Clapton & Barber

[Stephen G Barbone]

Dear Bert:

I know. I Posted it tongue in cheek to show how the music changes over  
the years. Here is an even later Chris Barber rendition (1997)  of the  
tune. VBG.

And here, I think, is that 1959 performance as a comparison.

Of course, compared to Marsalis who/played the tune once or maybe  
twice, Barber probably played it about 1000 times.

Also interesting are the numerous George Lewis (who may have triggered  
British Trad) versions  VBG
