When it comes to traditional New Orleans Jazz, British-born Sammy Rimington has long been my favorite clarinetist. He is a remarkable individual, a sensitive, soulful, interpreter, and champion of the music of the late George Lewis. He has carried on the singing beauty, intensity, rhythmic drive and impact of that remarkable sound that I fell in love with over 50 years ago.
He is heard with his own Hot Six recorded live at the Palm Court, with Michael Doucet, and with the Tremè Brass Band.
In April of 2005, before Katrina devastated the city, I visited New Orleans with Maureen Gosling and Chris Simon, two filmmakers who are working on a documentary about Arhoolie Records. With the help of friends Jerry Brock, Michael Doucet, Lars Edegran, and Benny Jones, we were able to film some my favorite musicians in the Big Easy. However, films seldom give you more than a taste of the music encountered and often take a long time to complete. So, I decided to release two CDs (also see Arhoolie CD 534) with most of the marvelous, impromptu sounds we were fortunate to catch.
