DJ Chrisbe’s Song of the Week #220: Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me

I'm pretty sure you know Sidney Bechet‘s wonderful version of Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me from the 1950s.

But now, I wanna jump back to late 1920s with you, when this very touching version was recorded.

Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me

Personnel: Jimmie Noone – clarinet, Joe Poston – alto sax, Earl Hines – piano, Bud Scott – banjo and guitar, Johnny Wells – drums.

I always get goosebumps when I listen to it. What about you?

Jimmie Noone

Jimmie Noone (April 23, 1895 – April 19, 1944) is considered one of the best clarinetists of the Twenties and  his style was a major influence on the Swing music of the Thirties and Forties.

I already wrote about him in an earlier Song of the Week. Check it out.
