Stockyard Strut from Messin' Around by Hal Smith's New Orleans Night Owls

Percussionist Jasper Taylor recorded this with the great Freddie Keppard and Johnny Dodds in Chicago in 1926. British bandleader Ken Colyer revived it in 1953.
This is one of our favorites to play and that shows in the terrific solos by Ryan and Andrew, and the wonderful ensemble work by T.J., Dave, Bill and Michael. And listen to that last chorus!
