Mid Week Dearieme
A bit more from the baleful Bechet. Here he plays Gershwin’s great lullaby/aria.
And here he takes on one of Cole Porter’s finest.
Next, a song by N. Swanstone, Charles R. McCarron and Carey Morgan published in1919: so a jazz warhorse. And none the worse for that.
Shall we end with another warhorse, this time a return to his quartet with Muggsy Spanier in 1940?
Ah hell no. Let’s have a blues as an encore.
Long long time no hear – blues my naughty sweetie – wonderful. And summertime at the start!

While you two were chatting I just bought a Bechet CD from Amazon. Had to have Summertime on it – my main criterion.
Different version, not in the same league:

Had a version of Love for Sale by Palm Court Theatre Orchestra [Chandos] – can’t remember the singer. Linda Murray.
