Burgundy Street Blues - Sammy Rimington 1987.
Sammy Rimington was one of the top trad musicians to emerge during the 1960s. He played with Barry Martyn in 1959, spent several years with Ken Colyer (1960-65) and came to the U.S. in the mid-1960s, playing with Big Bill Bissonnette's Easy Rider Jazz Band. Since that time, Rimington has been heard in a countless number of settings and he has stuck exclusively to New Orleans revival jazz. Rimington has recorded and performed with the who's who of New Orleans jazz Kid Thomas Valentine and Captain John Handy. He is influenced strongly by George Lewis on clarinet and by Handy on alto saxophone.
In this performance in Japan in 1987 he plays the famous George Lewis original Burgundy Street blues. On piano Butch Thompson, guitar Danny Barker, bass Chester Zardis and drums Stanley Shephard.
Why not dedicate this clips to some of my good friends who love George Lewis:
My brother, clarinettist Hans Erwig; my clarinet player in our Rampart Night Hawks around 1960 in Holland ,clarinettist Carel Wijnand and finally my friend and drummer in my present band Okanagan Swing, “jazzbobill”
