Hi kids!
This month your Dardanella is from a group I’ve never heard of called Papa Joe’s Jazzmen, playing in a club in Germany. According to the notes on YouTube, the band is from Cologne, and these fellas do their Dardanella-ing in authentic Dixieland style. They’ve got their own website, too, which lists the band members’ names as Didi, Klaus, Wiel, Wolfgang, Reiner, and Michael.
Watch for Klaus on the clarinet — this guy can really shred.
Click to play, dummy!

. . . oops - I meant to finish by saying I wish I still played my clarinet, hearing folks like Klaus makes me want to pick it up and start wailing . . .

Clarinets are kind of out of favor these days… 70 years ago they were at the exact center of American popular music.
