Illinois Jacquet - Robbin’s Nest download song

Lyrics were put to this and the song was called 'Just when we're falling in love' viz: 'You wouldn't be angry with me wouldya, cause I perhaps misunderstoodya, why have a falling out JUST WHEN WE'RE FALLING IN LOVE....' Recorded by Ella and Jeri Southern and some others. Illinois Jacquet is something else, man.

One of my favorite Jazz Melodies .....Illinois

Love the swinging style

I have this but mine is take one or take two or three just about the same but not. His solo is the same note for note the riff in the brige is not . When I first started playing sax this was my first do or die tune.Thank you.

What does this taste as a cocktail i wonder

Really nice, great photos!

They played together and in the same styles and venues over many periods, and finally in the JATPhilharmonic events sponsored by Norm Granz.

Robbins'nest ,Riffin at 24 th street , Black velvet , Embryo , You left me alone ......ect ...du beau du bon .....

Love it, also love the vocal flip flop in "Why have a falling out, just when were falling in love". I forget the short name ramoburg but you probably know it? Sy Oliver & The Mills Bros did it up very nice but lots of female jazz artists recorded it too! :-)

He was the originator of the "Texas honking" style of playing the 'gator tail.
