Tell ‘em about Me - Climax Jazz Band 1996.
This tune features a vocal by our trombonist Len Gosling. We have had this tune in our repertoire for about 15 years now and I always wondered where we got this from. I did a bit of reasearch and found it was originally recorded by famous vocalist Ethel Waters and her Ebony Four in 1925 with Coleman Hawkins playing the bass saxophone. In 1939 pianist Jimmy Yancey recorded it again and I found it played for the first time in the sixties by Acker Bilk’s Paramount Jazz Band. When I introduced the tune to the band our (then new) trombonist Len Gosling knew it as well and we played it and it has been in our repertoire ever since.
This was recorded at the 1996 St Louis Jazz Festival with Bob Erwig cornet, Len Gosling trombone and vocal, Pieter Meijers clarinet, Jack Vincken banjo, Chris Daniels bass and spokesman and Jamie Aug drums.
