Mama told me there'd be days like this: here's a fan video from Saturday's busk in Trinity-Bellwoods Park.

Perfect weather, such a lovely audience (would love to take them home with us!) and even the bylaw officers were amicable¹!

Gabe'n'Gary will be returning to the T-B Tuesday Farmers Market, October 3, 3-7pm, near Dundas and Shaw.

¹ it is apparently illegal to busk in Toronto parks. Playing music is fine, unamplified, but cases must be closed. Now if a stranger OPENS it a bit and slyly pops in some cash…

Johnny Dodds – The Chronological Classics, 1926

Dodds was one of the very finest New Orleans clarinetists, and the only non-Creole among them. The peak experiences here, and some of the finest small-group recordings ever made, are the New Orleans Wanderers sessions – Armstrong’s Hot Five with George Mitchell instead of Armstrong. Also present are Freddie Keppard’s only two recordings and a bunch of marginally lesser cuts that Dodds transmutes into gold (John Storm Roberts/AllMusic).

Markels’ Orchestra with Loren McMurray (1921-1922)

Ukrainian-born pianist and bandleader Michael “Mike” Markels (not Markel, as is often miswritten) led one of the finest society dance orchestras of 1920s New York.
