Sunset Cafe Stomp -- South Frisco Jazz Band 1995
This was recorded at the one of the concerts for members of the Toronto Classic Jazz Society on December 3 1995. As vice- president of this society I had suggested to engage this wonderful band for one of our concerts. I had known the musicians for many years especially when meeting at the different jazz festivals throughout the USA. The band follows a strict style of early jazz. They have followed Clarence Williams, Oliver, Armstrong and Morton's recordings from the twenties and early thirties and they are the prime American band to continue in the footsteps of revivalists Lu Watters and Turk Murphy in the forties and fifties. South Frisco had its beginnings in 1956 and has become one of the oldest bands in the USA still playing here in the late nineties.
This band uses the original recordings as a sample but keep their own fire and ideas as a result of their talent fully alive.
In this clip they play their own arrangement of Louis Armstrong’s Sunset Cafe Stomp.
