Yesterday I posted the A side of this great record – but the B side is equally intriguing so I shall include a transfer of it as well!
By title, we see it is a “sweet” number – but McClennon’s Jazz Devils add some spice into the tune – with ensemble playing that gives it more energy than your typical sweet dance number from this period.
A cornet solo drives us onward starting around 0:35 – and at 1:30 the banjo leads a syncopated breakdown. Toward the conclusion we hear McClennon’s clarinet wailing in the background like a fire alarm as the temperature rises ever hotter.
A very exciting addition to the Jazz Crazy archive from the collection of Joe Bussard.
And if you missed the A side of Okeh 8329 that I posted yesterday, here’s a link:
