A superb and perfect example of New Orleans Jazz's ensemble and solo play, and above all rhythm.
The original film documentary had so many editing cuts which were not done with the correct flow of the music soundtrack.
These mistakes created false jumps and gaps in the music, and could unfortunately easily be misinterpreted as mistakes by the performers. So it is quite shocking, that these editing mistakes had been done in the first place, and have not even been corrected on a later re-issue.
I have corrected all these mistakes and re-edited and re-cut the film, so here, for the first time, is the music in its original form.

it's a pity we have not Willie Humphrey recordings as a young man - I love his playing: very personal, deep and full of inventions, I wonder how could he have been in his prime

We do! Check out "Go 'Won To Town" by Dewey Jackson's Peacock Orchestra, recorded in St. Louis in June, 1926. Willie, age 25 then, takes the first chorus on clarinet and he BURNS! That and the ensemble chorus right after it are as hot as anything you'll ever hear. He's also on the other three sides from this, the St. Louis-based group's only record date, but he's buried in the ensemble on tenor sax and you can't pick him out. The raspy-toned clarinet on "Capitol Blues" is by Thornton Blue. I believe Willie lived and played in St. Louis and on the riverboats based there for several years around that time. I've also heard that he was in New York for a couple of years in the mid-1930s, where he worked and recorded with the Mills Blue Rhythm Band, but I don't know the records' titles, what instrument(s) he played or if he soloed. Maybe someone who reads this can enlighten us. I don't think Wille lost much, if anything, as he aged. He was playing great and improvising like nobody's business right up till his 1994 passing.
