1483 Freddy Taylor and His Swing Men from Harlem - Blue Drag

1483 Freddy Taylor and His Swing Men from Harlem - Blue Drag
From: Ultraphone -AP-1489, Year: 1935
Genre: Swing Jazz

I was thinking about this number from Freddy Taylor, who is one of my favourite Jazz musicians. This is another song that hails from that incredible 1930s Paris Jazz scene.
While the entire band is truly amazing, I absolutely love the smooth vocals and horn playing of Freddy Taylor in this song. Another member of the band on this song that many should recognize among others is renowned virtuoso guitarist Oscar Alemán.

Hear a recording on YouTube.
