"Ill Wind " (1934/08) Don Redman & his orchestra (from the revue "Cotton Club Parade") Vocalist: Harlan Lattimore Composer: Harold Arlen Lyricist: Ted Koehler

Release Date: December 29, 1934 Don Redman was light years ahead in arranging for larger-sounding ensembles prior to the "Swing/Big Band" era...A Cotton Club depression-era ditty that seems to also be recalling the dust bowl & hard luck in general; as the video portion shows us an upbeat turn of events, Don proves to us that it can go either way!
