Show 75: Jazz in Early Blues' Legacy

For today's auspicious 75th episode of the CC Blues Show, we'll be taking it back to before the Second World War, when jazz and the blues were fundamentally at their most interconnected point. Up first we're going to hear from jazz's greatest blues artists, Louis Armstrong and his pal Zutty Singleton, accompanied by none other than the trombone pioneer Kid Ory. Mr. Armstrong comes in hot in this next track proclaiming, "Folks, come gather 'round my stand and Satchmo's happy Dixie band," and he does it all where the blues were born, in New Orleans. Here it is.
