I have marveled at the beauty of the clips Mr. Hanson has shot in this series of songs. Razor sharp and perfect lighting shown. I asked what he used to shoot these clips. He wrote that he was using his iPhone 11. Amazing. I need to use mine, and use it better.
Many thanks, Ray Hanson. 'Save It, Pretty Mama' - a 16-bar song composed in 1928 by Joe Davis, Don Redman and Paul Denniker and played here in the key of F - is one of the many 16-bar tunes that lend themselves to breaks on bars 9 to 12. Tuba Skinny don't opt for such breaks. It looked for a moment as though Todd was going to take one at 03:24 but in fact he led through the entire second half of the Chorus - Bars 9 to 16.
Thanks so much for your insight and correction. I’ve read your book but I’m afraid the intricacies of the music are lost on me. I’ll correct the credit.
Not really a correction, Ray. Louis Armstrong recorded it in Chicago in December 1928. Don Redman (one of the composers) was playing reeds in his band at the time and probably wrote it with that band in mind. In later years it was recorded by such bands as Sidney Bechet's and (again with Don Redman in the band) by McKinney's Cotton Pickers.
@@PopsCoffee I might be nitpicking but there is no comma in Louis' 'SAVE IT PRETTY MAMA'. There is no mention of Davies or Denniker on the disc or in any discography that I have seen.
Thanks, Axel, for yet another of your perceptive comments. I may be pedantic but I try to punctuate correctly, i.e. in the ways I was taught at school in the 1940s! So for me it's 'Save It, Pretty Mama'. The same thing happened when the New Orleans bands started playing 'Root hog or die' a few years ago. For me, it has to be 'Root, hog, or die!' As for composers, they are so often neglected; and yet without them we would not have all the wonderful music. That's why I like to give their names wherever possible. Davis and Denniker are named among the composers of this tune at various sites, e.g. www.lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/s/saveitprettymama.html secondhandsongs.com/performance/1161617/all One site tells us Davis was born in 1896 and Denniker in 1897. I know nothing about these gentlemen but Wikipedia tells us Denniker also composed in collaboration with Andy Razaf; and Davis was an important figure on the New York music scene at one time as a songwriter and manager. Note especially this (correctly punctuated!) from Wikipedia: 'Hot Fives & Sevens (Armstrong, Alex Hill, Melrose) - 3:01 "Save It, Pretty Mama" (Davis, Paul Denniker, Redman) - 3:19 "Weather Bird" - 2:42 "Muggles" (Armstrong, Hines) - '
@@PopsCoffee If you surround a song title with quotes you cannot be held responsible for incorrect punctuation inside those quotes. The 1928 record by Louis Armstrong and his Savoy Ballroom Five names 'Redman' alone as the composer. In 1947 Louis Armstrong All-Stars with Jack Teagarden recorded 'Save It, Pretty Mama' which was written by Redman, Davies and Denniker. I beg leave to doubt that Davies and Denniker had any involvement in the 1928 version. Perhaps the comma was their contribution to the 1947 version and they hoped that Victor Borge would sing it.
You guys are still the best and the greatest jazz bands in America right now, stay great and prosperous and keep up the great
What a surprise here. Mr. Craig Klein on vocals here.
The tune seems new to me.
A great addition to the endless repertoire of Tuba Skinny. 😊 🎶🎉🌞🤗

One great song done just right. The tempo as it should be.
