Tin Roof Blues - Gene Mayl and his Dixieland Rhytm Kings 1982 <br />One of the most popular blues’ in the dixieland repertoire. Usually it would not be a tune I choose for youtube or dailymotion postings. <br />Of course the band consists of fine musicians and having them play the simple blues always gives a good sample of their improvisatory talents. <br />I was particularily impressed with the wonderful muted cornet solo by Ernie Carson. Obviously he was inspired by the great trumpet player Muggsy Spanier. <br />In this clip we see leader Gene Mayl on bass with cornettist Ernie Carson; Kim Cusack (usually with the Salty Dogs) clarinet and vocal; Hans Kuenzel trombone; the outstanding pianist John Ulrich on piano and Ken Hall playing drums
