Frankie and Johnny deParis Wilbur 1958
Wilbur deParis and his New New Orleans Jazz
Frankie and Johnny is the second tune in a set of four from a TV broadcast in 1958. Only 4 members of the actual band were hired to do the broadcast. Next to Wilber deParis on trombone there are Sidney deParis on trumpet and cornet, Omer Simeon on clarinet and Wilbert Kirk on drums.
They were augmented by the studio house band. Excellent pianist Billy Taylor certainly plays some fine stride piano with Wendell Lowe on guitar and Eddie Safranski on bass.
This traditional tune, Frankie and Johnny, the story of the two star-crossed lovers has always been a favourite tune of the deParis Band. Their version was recorded on the Atlantic label on an LP called "That's a Plenty"
