Since Bennie Moten and The Duke are making appearances on the Jazz - TopicsExpress



          

Since Bennie Moten and The Duke are making appearances on the Jazz Age today, here is one that hasnt been posted in awhile. There is something wonderfully dark and ominous about this recording, but wherever it is that its taking you, its a wonderful ride. There are interesting key changes, a formidable trumpet solo at :44, and are those castanets that are heard throughout ? The reference to Duke comes at 1:54, where (to me) strains of The Mooche can be heard. (photo of Bennie Motens Kansas City Orchestra courtesy of UMKC)
