Magnolia's Wedding Day Climax JB – Dick Cary 1978 <br /><br />Climax Jazz Band in a 1978 TV show featuring alto horn player Dick Cary. Dick Cary was the first pianist in Louis Armstrong's All Stars <br />Already in the late fifties in the Netherlands when I started collecting jazz LP’s some of my favourrites were these Eddie Condon recordings. In many Dick Cary was on piano and on occasion he played the Eb alto horn. With a beautiful tone and with these fabulous counterpoint improvisations he became one of my jazz heroes. <br />It was of course an enormous honor and thrill to be able to have him play with our band on a TV show. Magnolia’s Wedding Day is pleasant tune to improvise through. Much later I realized that the bridge should have a different chord structure. However Dick didn’t know the tune and therefore all went fine and smooth. One of the favourite film clips in my collection.
