Struttin' with some Barbecue- Irakli

  • 17 years ago
Irakli de Davrichewey and his Orchestra play Struttin’ with some Barbeque.
Recorded at the Jazz Festival d’Antibes France in 1987 trumpetplayer Irakli and his band masters the style of Louis Armstrong’s early All Stars. This band from France has an enormous amount of energy and combined with the technical knowledge and maximum intensity creates a very exciting approach to the former Louis All Stars music. Next to Irakli, who does an incredible Louis oriented solo we hear clarinettist Stephane Gerrault who is able to create that wonderful feeling that Barney Bigard was able to give to Louis’ band in the late 40’s and 50’s. Claude Cousset is playing a strong trombone. Pianist Pierre Calligaris falls nicely in a pianosolo in the Earl Hines manner. Bassist Frederic Legrande and drummer Michel Denis complete the hard swinging Rhythm group. Just a formidable and very together band!
