Clarence Williams' Blue Five - Black Snake Blues Old Folks Shuffle

Review by Sylvain Gendrot

The album Black Snake Blues Old Folks Shuffle by Clarence Williams' Blue Five is a delightful collection of traditional jazz pieces. The band's sound is full and rich, with each member contributing to the overall texture and feel of the music. The album opens with the upbeat "Black Snake Blues," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track features lively piano and trumpet solos that are sure to get listeners tapping their feet. The album also includes the slow and sultry "Old Folks Shuffle," which showcases the band's ability to play with emotion and depth. The smooth clarinet and saxophone solos add to the overall mood of the piece. The album is a must-listen for fans of traditional jazz, and Clarence Williams' Blue Five delivers a masterful performance throughout.
