Charleston Rag – Climax Jazz Band Japan 1995
It was in October 1995 that we had an opportunity do to a series of concerts in Misono Japan.
That day approximately 6000 in the audience, a beautiful autumn day and our band played full of spirit. Our special guest for this tour was Pieter Mijers, who plays excellent clarinet and soprano sax. Originally from the Netherlands Pieter was always an admirer of Peter Schilperoort and Jan Morks, two Dutch jazz players from the Dutch Swing College.For this clip we had choosen a not too often heard Eubie Blake composition.
The other members in the band were Bob Erwig cornet, Len Gosling trombone, Jack Vincken banjo, Chris Daniels bass and Jamie Aug drums.
