Love – Jabbo Smith - Hot Antic Jazz Band 1982 <br />In another clip of Jabbo Smith playing in concert with France’s Hot Antic Jazz Band we hear “Love”, another composition by Jabbo. <br />Jabbo is now 74, but in the late twenties he became world famous with a band which was called The Rhythm Aces. He recorded on Brunswick Records in straight competition with Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five on the Okeh label. <br />He quit playing professionally in the late thirties and started again in the later sixties. <br />In 1982 Michel Bastide of the Hot AnticJazz Band from the south of France was able to get Jabbo and organized a tour with concerts in France and Italy. <br />Hot Antic Jazz Band consists of Michel Bastide on trumpet and trombone, Jean Francois Bonnel clarinet, Gilles Berrut piano, Jean-Pierre Dubois banjo and Christian Lafevre tuba.
