Hot fives and hot chicks

You may think this is hilarious. I do wish the trumpet parts were a little better, but on the whole it's pretty well-done. Someone knows his early Armstrong.

I appreciate that they went with the 1932 Louis rather than the later, 1950's-era version. The real Louis made some underrated music during the back half of his career, but on the whole, the Hot Fives/Hot Sevens and the pre-1935 pop material are really where it's at. I never get tired of that stuff.

[I hear that Richard Thompson has also covered the Britney song in concert, as part of a mock-educational segment where he attempts to illustrate one thousand years of popular music history. He's been doing Bowling For Soup's "1985" too.]


Now playing: The Angels roaring past the A's.
