JOE VENUTI’S BLUE FOUR: ZOOT SIMS, BUCKY PIZZARELLI, VINCE GIORDANO (Newport in NY, )

A delicious short segment taken from the Bix Beiderbecke tribute that was the first concert of the 1975 Newport Jazz Festival in New York, at Carnegie Hall -- the modern equivalent of Joe Venuti’s Blue Four: Joe Venuti, violin; Zoot Sims, tenor saxophone; Bucky Pizzarelli, guitar; Vince Giordano, bass saxophone. They perform CHINA BOY, and as an encore, C JAM BLUES. Recorded surreptitiously from the audience by Michael Steinman for JAZZ LIVES ().
