Tom Baker – Hambone Kelly's Revisited

The last two years of Lu Watters' Jazz Band were spent at its own club, Hambone Kelly's, in San Francisco. Tom Baker's Jazz band captures the sound and the spirit that existed during the late 1940s when Hambone Kelly's became the mecca of traditional jazz. Recorded over two sessions in the North Sydney Leagues Club, this CD avoids the sterile atmosphere of the recording studio that Watters disliked so much.
