Carnival Day / Cat Music
A 2 track jump blues single (4m 50s) — released January 16th 2012 on Jukebox Jam Series
Returning to the artist (and label design) from our 4th release a couple of years back, here are two more N'awlins bangers from the undisputed Crescent City King.
Recorded right at the end of the '40s, 'Carnival Day', Bartholomew's mardi gras anthem, is the kind of record which encapsulates how unique the City's sound and musical heritage is, and how ahead of the curve its musicians were. A riotous gumbo stew of heavily syncopated Caribbean rhythms and laid back Southern swagger, it's one of Dave's very best, even if it sadly wasn't recorded with the highest fidelity - studio set ups were a lot more rudimentary back in the 40s than they were about to become, and with all those horns and percussion fighting for attention, this can't have been the easiest session to Mic up!
'Cat Music', recorded a few years on, is just as it says, cool, jiving sounds for hep cats - as Dave sings, 'We don't dig a Square!'
