JIMMY FORREST COMBO ON UNITED 110

Titles are 'Night Train’ b/w 'Bolo Blues'......................................................................................"Night Train" has a long and complicated history. The piece's opening riff was first recorded in 1940 by a small group led by Duke Ellington sideman Johnny Hodges under the title "That's the Blues, Old Man". Ellington used the same riff as the opening and closing theme of a longer-form composition, "Happy-Go-Lucky Local", that was itself one of four parts of his Deep South Suite. Forrest was part of Ellington's band when it performed this composition, which has a long tenor saxophone break in the middle. After leaving Ellington, Forrest recorded "Night Train" on United Records and had a major rhythm & blues hit. While "Night Train" employs the same riff as the earlier recordings, it is used in a much earthier R&B setting. Forrest inserted his own solo over a stop-time rhythm not used in the Ellington composition. He put his own stamp on the tune, but its relation to the earlier composition is obvious.

The record is in V+ condition with light background noise.
The label has 2 "x"'s written on side 1
Shipping prices are $7.39. As many of you know, I have recently made the move to Canada. Despite higher postage charges I have committed to keep these costs roughly in line with those in the US even if it means that I make a small loss. All packages will be sent by airmail with tracking and my experience so far is that there has been no delay apart from on a few occasions and some parcels are getting through quicker than US media mail. Rates other than to the US will be advised separately.
Full refund is given for any reason if goods are returned within 10 days of receipt
