I’m happy to have gone into the JAZZ LIVES archives for more good sounds (and sights as well) from the Ivory Club Boys — a band that knew how to groove in the best Swing Street ways. Caution: you might have to hold on to your chair. Here are some more delights, previously unseen, from Paul Mehling’s evocation of Stuff Smith’s hot little band: Paul, guitar; Evan Price, violin; Marc Caparone, cornet (subbing for Clint Baker); Sam Rocha, string bass; Isabelle Magidson, guitar. Recorded on May 31, 2014, at Armando’s in Martinez, California.
I’M CRAZY ‘BOUT MY BABY:
IT’S WONDERFUL:
AVALON, “with vocal chorus” by Isabelle:
I’ve posted a good deal more from this gig: search for IVORY and you will find an abundance of joyous heat.
May your happiness increase!
