[78-L] Why Hot Feet?

[Mark Bardenwerper]

Most of you know that I am a Lou Breese completist. Right now, there are 
a few interesting records on Ebay, one a Perfect with split sides, one 
Specht's Who Knows and the other by Willard Robinson  and the other a 
Viva Tonal of Specht's Hot Feet/Roll Up The Carpets.

The Viva is heard on CD's and the Perfect, well, I don't think I have 
ever heard it. Bidding on the Viva is active even though it comes from 
Japan with  hefty shipping fee.

Is it just because its a Viva or is there something special about this 
one? Even though it is pretty jazzy, it's pretty much an ensemble with 
only short, unimpressive solos, some clarinet and a few Phil Wall piano 
solos. Notably absent are Lou Calabrese and Sylvester Ahola. I would 
consider this record to be transitional, between Specht's roaring 
twenties hits and his depression-era decline.
