"White" Black Bottom Stomp

Sometimes the contrast between white and black jazz bands in the 1920s in their interpretations of the same material is quite stark. While interesting and "cool" in its restrained approach to the Jelly Roll Morton composition, Red Nichols and his band do not capture any of the "hot" quality of Jelly Roll Morton or 1920s New Orleans jazz artists. Nor does their take come close to the matching the multi-sectioned structure encompassing everything in the New Orleans style. Nevertheless, it is always interesting to hear different interpretations of "Black Bottom Stomp."
