Hi all,

I just came across this live recording of the Illinois Jacquet Big Band playing "The Blues From Louisiana". I have seen this band playing that tune more than once and this clip is not the best recording I've heard (the band and Illinois seem a bit tired), but the recording has a typical style characteristic of Illinois that he often used in his solo's: a screaming and very dirty high "A" (tenor, 0xx 000 that is).

Check this clip where he plays a very dirty one just after 4:12 (and some more further in the clip):


or


Enjoy :).
