Art Hodes- Friar's Inn Revisited
Pianist Art Hodes' career lasted eight decades, starting in the late 20s and continuing into the 90s. Friar's Inn, near Van Buren and Wabash, was where the legendary New Orleans Rhythm Kings played Chicago in the early 20s. Their series of classic recordings for Gennett ushered in the early Chicago decade of jazz recordings. Hodes had long wanted to do a recording in honor of that early group and brought George Brunis and Volly DeFaut, both members of NORK in the 20s, to the studio for this 1972 session. On CD for the first time, this release features Barney Bigard and Barrett Deems.
Tracklist:
- Intro to Angry
- Angry
- Sobbin' Blues
- That's a Plenty
- Tin Roof Blues
- Panama
- Clarinet Marmalade
- Nork Blues
- Sensation
- Ja Da
- Real Thing, The - (previously unreleased)
- After You've Gone - (previously unreleased, alternate take)
- I Know That You Know - (previously unreleased, alternate take)
