A lively session from Jimmie Noone and his Apex Club Orchestra.
One thing that always stands out in Noone’s records of this era is his incredibly adept rhythm section. Here we have Earl Hines, Bud Scott, and Johnny Wells who really drive this one home. Hines takes an extended solo starting at the minute mark, and is followed by a dextrous solo by Noone.
Recorded in Chicago, Illinois on May 16, 1928.
Released as Vocalion 1185.
