Martin Bennett's Old Green River Band - "Rocking My Baby"
Catalogue Note:
This is another exciting band to have undergone several personnel changes in recent months, but without any loss of its distinctive sound. Some bands are instantly recognisable and this is one of them. The new line-up is Dave Clennell trumpet, Howard Murray reeds, John Finch trombone, Martin Bennett piano & vocals, Mac Mac Donald banjo, Jim Swinnerton double bass, Stuart Smith drums. Jim and Stuart are still in their 20s; it's good to see young musicians playing this sort of jazz. The tunes on this live recording are: Lord Lord Lord, Make Me A Pallett On Your Floor, At The Jazz Band Ball, Rocking My Baby, I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me, Maria Elena, The Old Green River, When We Danced At The Mardi Gras, You've Got Me Tremblin', Saratoga Swing, Tuck Me To Sleep In My Old Kentucky Home, The Eyes Of Texas Are Upon You.
