Over the Waves -- George Lewis 1962
See this video on dailymotion:

From Preservation Hall in new Orleans here is a clip filmed for some Japanese jazz fans played by George Lewis and his famous Jazzmen. I recognize Punch Miller on trumpet and Louis Nelson on trombone.
This was one of the music pieces that made George famous. Many bands, especially in Europe have taken this piece in their repertoire, but yes folks, this is the real thing! This was probably recorded in 1962. George's fame started in 1942 when he was a member of the Bunk Johnson band. He died in 1968.

George came to my high school twice in the late 50's. I was instantly hooked on N. O. jazz and have enjoyed it greatly ever since. NH

Sobre las Olas, by Juventino Rosas, he was a Mexican musician, he died in 1849. He was a great composer, even no many people know who he was, but Im sure he can be proud to know that his music is world wide known.!!! Live for ever Juventino Rosas!!!

For much of the world, this is still famous as a classical waltz. In New Orleans it has a separate history because it was brought over by the 8th Mexican Cavalry Band when it came to the 1884 Cotton Centennial and subsequent visits. Ever since it has been part of New Orleans' traditional music, both brass bands and jazz.

¡Ah! El Jazz, madre de todas las siguientes creaciones de la música americana, habiendo insumido los blues y tantos otros cantares primigenios que formaron su tronco, robusto y vital, que sigue cubriendo las mil y una variantes del C&W, del R&B, del R'n'R y sus descendientes... Aquí están estos supervivientes de los tiempos clásicos con un añejo vals mexicano de a principios del S. XX,: "Sobre las olas" del cornetista mexicano Juventino Rojas ¡Qué lindo, cuánta vitalidad y ritmo! Chau! Desde BA, Nacho!

Juventino Rosas was not a cornet player, but a violin & trombone player.

That's absolutely true. If you watch the poster on the wall (Requests), you can see that in New Orleans the letters are white on a black background, while here the letters are black on a white background.

Wonderful George with that great tone and phrasing.Swinging all the way with Louis Nelson in great form. The Japanese really know their New Orleans jazz. Did you notice the classic picture of the early King Oliver band on the wall? An historical clip Bob!!

Nice. There is a lovely version of Acker Bilk, too. Sounds similar to my favorite clarinet-group OK-Dreamband on cd "Clarinet-Dreams" (iTunes, eMusic).

Unfortunatly I wasn't there but this tune (amongst others) is on a DVD that Geoffrey Bull (Australien tp-player) sells. The title of this DVD ist "George Lewis in Japan 1962". Besides that I read the book "George Lewis" by tom Bethell. From all these informations I really think that they rebuilt Preservation Hall in Japan. Sorry but I do not have the Address of Geff Bull! Yours KliKo

This is not Preservation Hall, which doesn't look anything like this room. This is from a DVD titled "George Lewis in Japan, 1962" George Lewis, clarinet Punch Miller, trumpet Lewis Nelson , trombone Emanuel Sayles, banjo Papa John Joseph, bass Joe Watkins, drums

Taped in Japan. The set decor is Japan's realization of what a NOLA space may be like.
