Here’s something different – a rousing live performance of “Dreaming the Hours Away” by T.J. Muller and his Jazz-O-Maniacs from the Bix Beiderbecke Jazz Festival!
This tune by William E. Dulmage was first recorded by Clarence Williams’ Jazz Kings in 1928 – and it is from the Williams recording that the band got its inspiration for this rendition. You can hear the original Clarence Williams’ Jazz Kings version here:

If you love jazz and dance music from the 20s and 30s – you should really attend this festival next year! Three days of outstanding performances plus extracurricular events like this riverboat cruise and a graveside concert next to the Bix’s final resting place. Hearing this music performed live (often on vintage instruments) by musicians who are all passionate about this era is a real treat.
