- The Louis Stewart Quartet perform ‘Jumpin’ the Blues’ in the Junior Common Room at Trinity College Dublin.
In the first of a four part series of jazz sessions recorded in the Junior Common Room (JCR) in Trinity College Dublin (TCD), the internationally renowned Irish Jazz guitarist Louis Stewart performs with Frank Hess on double bass, John Wadham on drums and Dick Keating on Hammond organ.
Louis Stewart normally plays with this group of musicians for club or concert dates in Dublin. The quartet play an updated version the 1940s song ‘Jumpin’ The Blues’ originally by the Kansas City jazz pianist, vocalist and composer Jay McShann.
This programme was recorded on 12 April 1980. Louis Stewart appeared on two episodes of ‘Jazz’ broadcast on 3 and 10 July 1980.
This episode of ‘Jazz’ was broadcast on 3 July 1980. The presenter is Bryan Day.
That takes me back. I remember them all, particularly the times Louis Stewart and John Wadham were in my parents' house as they were good friends of my father. Dad was a great jazz musician and drummer who taught John to play the drums. Dad came to regard him as the best drummer in Ireland such was his talent. He rightly held Louis in the highest regard and thought he'd be world famous if he'd made his career in America. But Louis ultimately preferred to be in Ireland. And he still achieved world fame. Two extraordinary musicians and very nice people who had time for me when I was a boy full of questions.

Amazing, managed to catch Louis in JJ's about ten years ago. Now he's gone and so is the pub.
An invaluable addition to the TH-cam ouvre of Louis, His fingering is clearly recorded. thanks for this.
