Ten tracks including music by Bessie Smith with Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke (cornet) et Paul Whiteman (direction), and Charlie Johnson's Original Paradise Ten.

red beans and rice... gladys sings the hell out of that one. oddly enough, the title makes me think of mc solaar and his similarly titled track (also a good one!) and scavenging me up some mexican food. great mix thank you!

Thanks - these were Tony Fletcher's picks but agree it's a fun mix. Would love to transport back to experience the scene at the time!
