Bennie Moten's Kansas City Orchestra - Rumba Negro download mp3

The guitar work is that of EDDIE DURHAM. This session showcased the first recordings of single line solos.

Is a Tuba or a Sousaphone ?

Marvellous music, thanks for a superb piece.

Thanks again for this wonderful treat.

Great work on this track! All is perfect: tuba (!!! what a deep sound!!!), drums, solos, tempo...

A very fine tune. I played it last year the first time with a Quartett in Germany. A little bit slower, but it sounded well

One the the great Western territory bands, later morphed into Count Basie. Yea!

Moten was the best. These are the fathers of KC jazz.

When I was young,alas,long ago!-Jazz purists would often complain that the Tuba "muddied" the bounce and elasticity of pure JAZZ.,rendering it somehow inauthentic.I could not ascertain this mysterious factor but found,on the contrary,that the Tuba was an essential and enlivening instrument.And this piece displays exactly what I mean.Lovely m usic.

These photos are from Kansas City KS, a small suburb of the REAL City where the jazz was. You should have photos of KANSAS CITY MISSOURI where the jazz was happening. So you ruined the entire video because of your geographical ignorance, you used the WRONG CITY for the photos. What a dope.

Beautiful Posting. Thanks.
