Cootie Williams, Things Ain't What They Used To Be (1989) r.1944-51
Monday's lunch record is the big band of trumpeter Cootie Williams. This raucous swing jazz featured the blues feel. Cootie spent years on the Duke Ellington orchestra before starting his own show band featuring the top musicians available. The YouTube sample song is "Let 'em Roll"  (1947) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBzNGV9kSZ8 . . .bucko
