This list was cobbled together intuitively on Sunday eveningThe actual broadcast coordinates might well resemble what you see herePat Flowers was a Fats Waller follower who was based in DetroitAlligator Crawl was written by Thomas Waller - this version resonates wonderfullyRosa Henderson will make a reference to "cake eaters" - coded language for effeminate menThe Norfolk Jazz Quartet was usually just billed as the Norfolk Jazz They also cut a lot of spirituals and gospel recordings as the Norfolk Jubilee QuartetThe arrangement used on Duke Ellington's Cotton Club Stomp may create a disturbance in your mindShanghai Shuffle is a masterpiece of restlessness that first erupted during the middle 1920sJimmy Yancey's use of bass line rhythms always suggests to me a subtle Afro-Caribbean influenceSpeaking of which: Barbados might well be one of charlie Parker's most attractive melodiesFor this reason I look forward to putting it across for you on Thursday evening
