Hot Cotton Jazz Band (Make your own c.d.)

Great - saves me playing my old vinyl!

You have a problem with track 4 - the URL link to the file is the same as track 1 (Wolverine Blues) - not "How Long Blues"

I noted with interest on the cover scan that the band toured Europe in 1984 & appeared at the jazz festival. I was a military bandsman at the time & whilst performing at the military tattoo that year, took to frequenting the fringe club after the shows. I remember being blown away by an american "trad" band who did a short set one night. Other than being humbled by the Bass/Tuba playing I found myself fascinated by the drummer who played with a sax strap/bungee rope arrangement attached to his wrist! Grooved like crazy though.

Did I see you playing all those years ago?

It was a kicking set & went down a storm as I recall.

Happy days

Bloke,
Mighty fine playing on Riverboat Shuffle! Whenever I heard Hot Cotton it was always with a string bass. The band really cooks with a tuba! I would see you guys across the country at jazz festivals -- one of the finest trad bands in the country. BTW,
I play with High Sierra JB on trombone when I'm not playing tuba, Hot Cotton was one of the best in the business! I know the Bob Baker has passed on, I have met Clive on many occasions , any word on the other guys in the band are doing? I really miss seeing everyone.
