I'd heard of the Fairview Baptist Church Brass Band But I'd never heard the Fairview Baptist Church Brass Band. This video is from 2015, which is about 40 years after they were forced to disband, so I'm not sure who we are watching here, but I'd say that these guys know what they are doing.
Plus, it's Li'l Liza Jane...
Note that the sax player throws in Shortnin' Bread for no extra charge. This is a fortuitous coincidence, since it was my world-famous Li'l Liza Jane - Shortnin' Bread harmonica medley that allowed me to meet The World's Nicest Lady Police Officer when she suggested that I stop playing it, but we'll leave that story for another time.
Thanks Phat; you are a gentleman and a scholar. Great wake me up Jazz.
The song reminded me of The Oregon Jazz Band. See the wiki page link below. My father had (and now I have) three vinyl albums of these guys and they are good and fun and very talented. And mostly unknown. Like the gentlemen above. Dixieland Jazz is what I want played at my gravesite when I'm tossed to the worms and bugs, sans coffin.
because i have a huge man crush on Ron Carter (and Tony Williams, and Tommy Flanagan...and jazz trios with piano, bass and drums). this rhythm section is one degree of separation between several decades of jazz giants.
recorded in 1983 but could have easily been recorded in 1953 or 1963.

The earliest known use of rhythm changes was by Sidney Bechet in his September 15, 1932[4] recording of "Shag" with his "New Orleans Feetwarmers" group.
