"Black and Blue" is a 1929 jazz standard composed by Fats Waller with lyrics by Harry Brooks and Andy Razaf.
I approached this song with a fair degree of trepidation because It is one of my ten all-time favourite songs and Louis Armstrong's monumental version in 1964 in Berlin.

Excellent, Nigel. The piano tips it hat to Fats, and I hear a special tribute to Satch in your vocal. I'eheard so many renditions of this classic, and yours is so well done it moves right in with the others. The trumpet wasn't Louie's, but it was a fine tribute. Much enjoyed.
Nigel, that's a really nice version. Like how you are referencing Pops with your vocals without doing an impression. Nice way to bring a new spin to this fine old tune. (Also nice to see Oliver Gannon, Peter's brother, in the credits. He can really play, though he's just keeping time here.) Nicely done!

You captured the era, tone, and groove of this song. The vocals fit perfectly with the mood and lyrics. I'm confused, is this Real Tracks or Real Players?
Nigel, you nailed it. Your vocal was a lot like Satchmo's vocal however the trumpet wasn't, but it did not detract from this song. Super groove and mix.
PS - I though we were not supposed to list the artists names, just the RTs. The artist didn't actually play during your "session" and I wonder if there may be some repercussions for PGM from some artists. I say this in all due respect. If I am wrong someone can correct me.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Great vibe on this Nigel - super job all round, I read somewhere that Sachmo smoked weed all day for years? You didn't need the weed to capture the vibe (I assume) - well done!
Ah, I wasn't expecting the OZ blues rock of Chain and was pleasantly surprise by your version of this song. Armstrong's playing is superb on the linked version..the slushy & licorice stick hold their own too. Your version is terrific but you've spoilt it for me by linking Louis. GREAT song, your interpretation is cool.
