this is one 3 min plus song that is the reason they deserve to go perform at the Newport Jazz Festival this year. This music is our heritage and Tuba Skinny is making a hell of a lot of people care about it again. it is precise yet relaxed, full of spirit and mjsicality rather than just one volume noise like so many groups play. They play from the soul and not just technique.
Thank you, Fülöp Gábor. 'Fireworks' is on Tuba Skinny's 2018 'Nigel's Dream' CD. It was recorded in 1928 by The Original Memphis Five and by Louis Armstrong's Hot Five. At 02:41, it transitions from the key of E flat to a new key - A flat. The theme that follows in A flat, played at 02:42 - 03:16, sounds as though it is based on a chord sequence virtually identical to that of the main theme of 'Tiger Rag' - a chord sequence used in many traditional jazz tunes, such as 'Bourbon Street Parade', 'Second Line', 'Hotter Than That', 'Knee Drops', 'Pretty Audrey', 'Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey?', 'Don't Give Up the Ship' and the final strain of 'Hiawatha Rag'. The Armstrong recording of 'Fireworks' - ruclips.net/video/B06DwBVi9LA/видео.html - has been uploaded by bsgs98, who provides this information: 'Composed by Clarence Williams and Spencer Williams; Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five; Recorded July 27, 1928; Okeh 41078'.
You know, of course, that Columbia Records is an American record label owned by Sony Music Entertainment. Apparently they believe it was Spencer Williams alone who dunnit. Vide ruclips.net/video/3HANG2rXzAA/видео.html
