If I have listened to this video 10 times, I've listened 100 times. That t-bone guy knocks your socks off. So smooth and mellow....the way it should be.
Hello - Nice to receive a comment from fellow jazz enthusiast from France. I visited New Orleans several times in the 1960s and 70s to hear George Lewis, Jim Robinson, Kid Thomas, Cie Frazier and many more at Preservation Hall. Ailene Cusack
Great Music! I really like this arraangement - start funerary slow then pick up to jazzy march. Each musican's interpretation adds to the dimension, and the final really sells it!
this is absolutly awesome and a fitting tribute to the man mr norrie cox i could listen to them all nite brilliant thanks for posting a joy to all who listens
Thanks for your comment. Yes, the Chicago Salty Dogs are based in the Chicago area but, unfortunately, they have no regularly scheduled venue. You might want to check out Kim Cusack's website where you will find a schedule of events.
I've already decided - this is what I want playing at my own funeral and just in case I'm not there, I can listen to it as much as I want now. reminds me of the villages in fl - a wonderful memory
Ailene Cusack Well, I really need to practice and a Sousaphone costs a fortune. I have been looking on Ebay and other sites, but, no luck so far. I really wish Walt Disney World had a New Orleans area like Disney Land. I could listen to this all day.
Thanks for the nice comment; I'll pass it along to the band when I video tape their next session which will be at Fitzgerald's in Berwyn, IL, March 27. Ailene
Great to hear from you. I do have two video clips on my channel of Norrie's band which were done a few months before his death: "Over In The Glory Land" and "Exactly Like You." Very interesting about your car racing days. You're right, Norrie was a great guy! Ailene
I was getting ready to criticise this version as too fast but I changed my mind. I've played it many times including at funerals a nd really it works at many levels I suppose my preference has always been coloured by the parade I played with the Young Tuxedo in New Orleans way back in 1978.; but I enjoyed this version, especially as it was dedicated to a past member of the great world wide musical fraternity
+Michael R. Hi Michael, Nice thought, thank you. I wish I were, too, but we moved to California several months ago so it will be a long time before we have that pleasure again. Ailene
There are so many versions of this on TH-cam and they all seem to work for me - vocal; instrumental; fast; slow - I'm not keeping a league table but I'm sure this would be near the top if I did. Thanks for the pleasure.
@ncognit02 Thank you for such a lovely comment. Sorry about the gabby lady. Fitgerald's is a tavern and it's pretty hard to control that type of thing. Any suggestion on how to put in the Smithsonian?!! Again thank you--I've shared your comment with some of the musicians. Ailene Cusack
@bluesman33 You couldn't have picked a better No. 1 candidate. Great tune and a great version of it by the Salty Dogs of Chicago. Thanks for commenting. Ailene Cusack
@downrodeo Hi - Good to hear from someone in Malaysia and particularly from a young person. Thanks you for your nice comment. I will pass it on to the Chicago Salty Dogs. Ailene Cusack
@barrettdalton31 Hi Barrett, In answer to your question, "Just A Closer Walk With Thee" is in B-flat. Sorry it took me so long to reply. I somehow missed your comment until today. Ailene Cusack
My favorite version of this song on TH-cam. Unforunately, the beginning is ruined by some dumb broad yakking away ("She said..."). And then she has to pipe in and talk over the music again at 0:51. It's a shame. Otherwise, the recording of this performance should be in the Smithsonian. It's perfect... and captures the true spirit of the of the song.
Are these guys not afraid of ghosts? You could expect King Oliver to appear from wherever he is and join in with his muted cornet because he thinks that's his old band playing.
If I have listened to this video 10 times, I've listened 100 times. That t-bone guy knocks your socks off. So smooth and mellow....the way it should be.
Thank you Dave for your very nice comments. I'll pass the word along to the band. Keep listening.
I've listened to this song, over and over and over, for the past 2 days. Man, how I wish I could see these guys play in person!

He is one of my favs. as well as the clarinet player seen here!

Thanks, Ken. I was there and I totally agree. I doubt there was a dry eye in the room.
