Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie Climax JB 1996
This clip is part of a concert we did during the St Louis Jazz Festival in 1996.
A typical festival is usually held in a number of ballrooms and concert centres. Probably 10 to 15 bands from all over the USA would participate during a festival weekend.Our Climax Jazz Band had to play the last set of the day. This clip is also the last tune of that set. Here and there a bit rough maybe, but good in spirit.
In the band we had Bob Erwig ( me) on cornet, Pieter Meijers on clarinet, Len Gosling on trombone, Jack Vincken on banjo, our brilliant announcer and bassist Chris Daniels and Jamie Aug on drums.
A special guest came up to join us on piano. Paul Reed is one of America's finer stride pianists and played at the festival with Chet Jaeger's Nightblooming Jazzmen. Both bands had met previously on seacruises and other festivals and Paul and I had become very good friends. So, it has always been a great pleasure to announce him and invite to come and sit in. Here is one of Paul's favourites "Clap Hands, here comes Charlie!"
