(part two) In this episode from December 27, 1965 Louis' secret centers around the first horn that was given to him then 53 years ago when he was at the Colored Waif's Home in 1912. It was presented to him by Peter Davis who first taught Louis how to play. Louis is obviously fond and indebted to this man, simply and meaningfully saying when on stage together, "This is Him." Davis and Armstrong then play When the Saints Go Marching In.

Buddy's Habits- Cartain L'aiment Chaud 1992
The Paris based band Certain L'aiment Chaud (Some like it Hot) is an all female group specializing in the sounds of early jazz. They play the jazz from the twenties like the music of King Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet and Clarence Williams. The band was formed in 1985 by Kiki Desplat cornet and their members are Sylvette Claudet clarinet, Agnes Loustau piano, Nathalie Renault banjo aand Claude Jeantet sousaphone. The band won le Prix Sidney Bechet 1992 de l'Académie du Jazz they have played many of the European jazz festivals as well as the largest festival of its kind worldwide: Sacramento - USA. Kiki Desplat is one of very few female trumpet players of class. Born and raised in Paris she is still leading her all female orchestra "Certains l'aiment chaud" on a part time basis since nowadays she actually lives in Sweden and is married to fellow trumpet player Paul Strandberg. On "Buddy's Habits" Paul joins them on cornet. Kiki and Paul became a couple around this time and one of many dreams that they shared was to revive the cornet duets of Oliver and Armstrong. Now, many years later in 2007, they are happily married and have a daughter who plays trumpet as well.

Sidney Bechet (May 14, 1897 -- May 14, 1959) was an American jazz saxophonist, clarinetist, and composer.
He was one of the first important soloists in jazz (beating cornetist/trumpeter Louis Armstrong to the recording studio by several months and later playing duets with Armstrong), and was perhaps the first notable jazz saxophonist of any sort. Forceful delivery, well-constructed improvisations, and a distinctive wide vibrato characterized Bechet's playing.
However, Bechet's mercurial temperament hampered his career, and not until the late 1940s did he earn wide acclaim.
Bechet was born in New Orleans. From a young age, Bechet quickly mastered any musical instrument he encountered. Some New Orleanians remembered him as a cornet hot-shot in his youth. At first he decided on the clarinet as his main instrument, and Bechet remained one of jazz's greatest clarinetists for decades. The clarinetist Jimmie Noone, who became famous in his own right, took lessons from Bechet when the latter was only thirteen-years old. Despite his prowess on clarinet, Bechet is best remembered as the first great master of the soprano saxophone.
Bechet had experience playing in traveling shows even before he left New Orleans at the age of 20. Never long content in one place, he alternated using Chicago, New York, and Europe as his base of operations. Bechet was jailed[2] in Paris, France when a passerby was wounded during a pistol duel (which Bechet himself had instigated in an argument over chord changes); after serving jail time, Bechet was deported.
He continued recording and touring, though his success was intermittent.
Bechet relocated to France in 1950. He married Elisabeth Ziegler in Antibes, France in 1951.
Shortly before his death in Paris, Bechet dictated his poetic autobiography, Treat It Gentle. He died on his 62nd birthday. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidney_Bechet

Royal Garden Blues -- Carlings 1984 On October 5 1927 Bix Beiderbecke recorded one of the most important jazz recordings in its history. Royal Garden Blues with his New Orleans Lucky Seven. Bix had Bill Rank on trombone, Don Murray on clarinet Adrian Rollini on bass sax, Frank Signorelli on piano and Chauncey Moorehouse on drums. Since my first days in jazz the sounds of that recording have stayed with me, but I never expected to hear another recording that close to the original. I had heard that Hans Carling and his New Cooling Orchestra loved to play Bix's music as well, but to see and hear Hans together with his young children and his band to be able to get so close is beyond my imagination and I am certain that anybody with knowledge to that original recording will feel the same.. Little Max on clarinet plays the exact solo of Don Murray, then 9 year old Gunhild takes on the Bill Rank solo if it was hers. Frans Sjostrom who became the closest thing to Frank Signorelli takes a magnificient solo as well to be topped by Hans Carling himself. Daughter Gerd on the piano can be seen pumping the chords like no other ( and the way it should) with a helping hand of the band's pianist Bob Stalin,. Mom Aina and Rolf Karve play banjos, A big influence on Gunhild must have been trombonist Dymitr Markiewicz, After a clarinet and sop sax exchange by Max and Frans the band closes out with a few ensembles. In this recording we also hear Dick Heikenskjold on bass abd Bobbi Sakowicz on drums. All this from a 1984 concert during a jazz festival in Poland. A highlight for my collection! you can also listen to the original Bix recording on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyvH6wf4ghw
