The more I listen to this the more I appreciate Jackie Blair. I had seen her a couple of years ago busking on Royal Street with Kyle Ohlson and had not seen her since until this day. I had popped in The Spotted Cat earlier this same afternoon and found her (and Hippolyte Fevre playing here on trumpet) sitting in with The Royal Street Winding Boys on a couple of songs and she was impressive there also.
The trumpet is fabulous. Jackie Blair is the singer. Ok I didn't known it before. I saw some videos there she played with her own band "Hot Biscuits" is the name. Thank you so much for this great performance. Nice greetings from Germany. Dave 👋
Many thanks for capturing this for us, James. I'm ashamed to say 'Till Times Get Better' is a new song to me. It is clearly a product of The Great Depression. I thought at first it was new to Haruka too, as she seemed to be struggling to find appropriate notes during the first chorus. However, she quickly spotted that it is a fairly basic tune of 20 bars (measures) in E flat, with a break on bars 7 and 8 (and usually on 19 and 20), and the whole thing on a simple familiar chord sequence (very similar to that of 'Darktown Strutters Ball'). So, when she came to play her solo (02:15 - 02:57) she did so with characteristic panache. I think it helps that there was a fashion for such 20-bar structures in songs of the time. Think of 'Big House Blues', 'After You've Gone', 'Oh You Beautiful Doll', 'I Guess I'll Have To Change My Plan', 'Keeping Out of Mischief Now', 'You've Got the Right Key but the Wrong Keyhole', 'You Got Me Crying Again', and 'Papa De Da Da', as well as 'Darktown Strutters Ball'.
Excellent groupe! Excellent vocal! Excellents chorus! Excellente tromboniste! ... Merci, James, pour cette vidéo qui fait bien commencer la journée et, toujours, bonjour de Lausanne😀
Soy chileno, buen grupo. Me llama la atención el instrumento de Percusión, que toca la dama. En el sur de chile, para la música folclórica tocan un instrumento Parecido.

Jackie leads the Hot Biscuits, plays with Eight Dice Cloth and appeared with NOLA Jazz Vipers.
Yep, she is great.
Thanks for sharing James!
