So here’s the second of my transcriptions by Kid Ory from a 1946 recording.
Whilst this is a different tune there are many, many similarities between this and the previous Ory transcription. The chord structure as previously is very basic – just 2 chords in the entire chorus. Ory does little to dispell this simplicity with his solo outlining the root, 3rd and 5th of each chord. Again vibrato on the longer notes and very short on the short notes. The use of smears or glissando’s is also again prevalent – here however it is used as a way to transition between C and Bb – often the exact note is unclear as he is sliding somewhere between the two.
