”That jazz” is referring to a miracle in music that happened in the beginning of 1900s when people from a big variation of ethnical and cultural background inspired each other to play in a new fashion. Luckily all this coincided with the development of new inventions like the phonograph recordings, photography and film so that it became in part documented and still can be enjoyed today. In my early teens I happened to be exposed to ”that jazz” and it struck a string deep within me that has kept vibrating ever since.

Deep Down South
Paul and His Gang
Här kommer en sista låt från Valborg på Mattssons 1987. Man brukar säga att den var Bix Beiderbecke’s svanesång, hans sista inspelning under eget namn en kort tid innan han dog vid endast 28 års ålder. Jag stuvade om i originalarrangemanget från 1930 och gjorde så att Bix’s kornettsolo kom först. Vi hade fint flyt och fint samarbete men av någon anledning kom vi inte vidare med den här upplagan av bandet.
Paul and his gang spelar Deep Down South på Mattssons i Malmö den 30 April 1987.
- Paul Bocciolone Strandberg – kornett, sång
