My Pillow and Me – Billy Poole/High Society JB 1962
Billy Poole singing a tune originally recorded by Vocaliste Eva Taylor together with her husband Clarence Williams in 1922. Billy sings here together with the French High Society Jazz Band of trombonist Mowli Jospin in 1962.
An amazing band where all the musicians grasp that honest and traditional atmosphere of how these early jazz bands would improvise around the singer’s melody lines. What a treat!
The other musicians in the band are Pierre Merlin trumpet, Claude Rabinet trumpet, Pierre Atlan clarinet., Martine Morel piano, Christian Gervais banjo, Raymond Fonseque tuba and Michel Miroux drums.
Jospin, Merlin and Rabinet played in the famous Claude Luter Band as well. This was the band that played and recorded with Sidney Bechet in the fifties.
