[78-L] Better than "Jammin' The Blues'!

[Taylor Bowie]

I thought Sweets was way better in this one than in the older movie...and 
Hank Jones way outshines the earlier piano guy...whose name I can't 
recall...Morris?

JoeFlip starts off great in his solo but gets caught up in kind of boring 
riffy honky stuff...Get Back,  Honking Cat! I still prefer the sound of his 
horn to that of Illinoisy in the earlier movie.

I think I'm with Julian on the original Jammin' the Blues...most of it seems 
like it was filmed in a cave and it tries too hard to be artsy...the music 
should tell the story.  Still I enjoy watching it once in a while,  and will 
enjoy this one on occasion in the future.
