Crankin' It Up



We had to make a run to town this evening, and Christmas music was playing in the stores already. You won't find any of that here until well after Thanksgiving--guaranteed! Here is a peppy jazz record made in April, 1925. The song is "Down And Out Blues" performed by The Cotton Pickers, an all white house orchestra employed by Brunswick. The hot trombone playing on this record is Miff Moles, and he is quite interesting to read about on the internet if you are into the history of forgotten musicians.
