    “Blues For Art’s Sake” – Barney Bigard Sextet (1945)

    Chillax mid-week with Barney Bigard and crew. Everyone’s sounding mellow and chill on this side. I was gonna post the flip side “Sweet Marijuana Brown” on 4/20 but then listened to this and felt that, novelty of the former aside, it may be the better side.

    Recorded in New York City on January 5, 1945.
    Released as Black & White 13.

    Credits:
    Joe Thomas – trumpet, tenor sax
    Barney Bigard – clarinet
    Art Tatum – piano
    Billy Taylor – bass
    Stan Levey – drums
