In preparing for the Veterans Day edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion, I wanted to air one of the most popular songs of the WW II period to salute our veterans: \“The St. Louis Blues March.\” But I also wanted to make sure you heard what the original version of the \“St. Louis Blues\”sounded like. So we aired a 1922 version, with W. C. Handy himself playing the cornet. Today, we are going to air a version of the same arrangement made with modern recording equipment and contemporary musicians by the W. C. Handy Beale Street Reenactment Band of Memphis. And yes, the 1922 arrangement uses a tango rhythm. Handy used the tango rhythm in hopes of making his recording more successful. And to demonsrate that the \“St. Louis Blues\” is truly one of the most recorded tunes, we are also going to hear Pete Fountain’s version of the same composition.
