About "Savoy Blues" by Kid Ory's Creole Jazz Band
Kid Ory's 'Savoy Blues' is a slow, swaggering Creole blues, its trombone smears and clarinet wails painting a smoky dancehall. The rhythm section lays down a lazy, hypnotic pulse, but beneath the calm surface simmers a restless, aching longing. It's elegance with a bruised heart.
