I've got the right to sing the blues Coleman Bill 1960

Bill Coleman lived in France from 1947 until his death in 1977. Here is part of filmclip ( sorry that's all I have) recorded in 1960 in France where Bill sings and plays "I've got the right to sing the blues"
I dedicate this clip to my new youtube friend perthomas, who is a Danish trumpetplayer and painter who lives in Paris and has some very interesting youtube clips as well.
A votre sante, monsieur Per!

Dans les rues d'Antibes

The French clarinettist Claude Luter had a very succesful band in the fifties and Sidney Bechet, who lived in France in his later years, played and recorded with the Luter band.
In this clip, probably made in the late seventies, Claude talks about these days and follows to perform one of Bechet's greatest compositions, "Dans les Rues d'Antibes" I think Claude Luter is a fine soprano saxophonist as well.
I loved this tune all my playing life as well and was able to play it in 1994 with Jacques Gauthe, a pupil of Bechet as well and who now lives and plays in New Orleans. The only video I have was from a concert in Japan. You'll find this in the Climax Jazz Band in Japan playlist .

Shimme sha wabble Hot Antic Jazz Band 1985

In 1985 there was a large traditional Jazz Festival in Toronto, Canada. Chris Barber's Band, Ken Colyer's Jazzmen came from England and The Hot Antic Jazz Band from France was there as well. We in the Climax Jazz Band had become good friends with the Hot Antic because we had met them for the first time at the Scottish Edinbrough Festival.
One of the Toronto festival sites was in our regular club called Jake's Boathouse in Brampton. We had a night where both our bands played and of course jammed together as well. I had my camera with me and made some dia's. A year later I got my first Sony film camera and edited some of the pictures together with a track from the Hot Antic. Now, more than 20 years later I found this little try...so, why not process it in dailymotion. Some of the blue shirted guys are actually members of our band There we go: Shimme Sha Wabble.
