Malc's Jazz Mix Volume 2



Here is the second volume of jazz sides which I think Malc would have enjoyed listening to.

Tracklisting:

1. Joe Venuti Satan's Holiday
2. Bessie Smith Reckless Blues
3. Django Reinhardt Djangology
4. Django Reinhardt Oriental Shuffle
5. Bix Beiderbecke Davenport Blues
6. Original Memphis Five Bass Ale Blues
7. Joe Venuti & Eddie Lang Wild Dog
8. Frankie Trumbauer Way Down Yonder In New Orleans
9. Frankie Trumbauer Futuristic Rhythm

I've used a book cover from Scott Fitzgerald whose novels have come to epitomise the 1920's Jazz Age. Malc and his wife Margerie wrote a film script for Fitzgerald's Tender Is The Night which was never made into a film and was only published in 1990.

If you like the above then tune into the first Malc's jazz mix.

Quintette du Hot Club de France Paris, May 4th 1936


Quintette du Hot Club de France: Stephane Grappelly (Vin), Joseph Reinhardt, Pierre Ferret (G), Lucien Simoens(b), Freddy Taylor (Vcl)
I was feeling in the mood for a few jazz sides tonight. Here is another favourite band of Malc's which he must have discovered while in Paris during the early summer of 1934. I will be back with a Django Reinhardt mix in the near future and I will also be featuring the band on my next Malc's Jazz Mix.
