Oh didn’t he Ramble - Climax Jazz Band 1991.

This has been a tune on my repertoire since I started playing in the fifties. In Holland. I had a fine band called the Rampart Night Hawks. I dedicate this tune, here played by the 1991 Climax Jazz Band, to Jasper van Pelt.
Jasper is the son of my trombone player in the Night Hawks, Ad van Pelt, and Jasper plays an excellent tailgate trombone him self. He presented on youtube a version of Oh didn’t he Ramble of a 1959 concert of Louis Armstrong in Italy ( you’ll find his site under jaspervanpelt). In 2005 I had a chance to play with Jasper when I was in Holland on holidays.
In our presentation we have Pete Sagermann on trombone, Mick Lewis on clarinet, me, Bob Erwig on cornet, Jamie Aug on drums and Chris Daniels on bass.
Jack Vincken on banjo emigrated from Holland a year before I did and was in our early days a member of Rampart Night Hawks as well.
