<DIV> Listen to the 13th and 14th
measure of “Squeeze Me.” It is a descending series of diminished chords.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When we, the Great Pacific Jazz Band, recorded our Louis Armstrong album,
listening to the recordings of the Hot 5 and Hot 7, sometimes the front line and
rhythm section would play different chords. One would use a minor and the other
would use the diminished chord. So we had to figure out which one we would use
so the whole band was playing the same chord. </DIV>
