“Hot Lips” – Harry Barth’s Mississippi Six (1922)

The B side to “I Love Sweet Angeline” also features some great soprano sax work by Doc Berendsohn throughout. Starting at 1:08 he really gets to spread out between the starts and stops of the syncopated rhythms. At 1:50 he switches to clarinet and keeps the vibe going! A really fun listen.

Recorded in New York City circa June-July 1922.
Released as Federal 5211. This is take 2 (mx. 2-1538).
