THE JOKER * DUKE REID'S GROUP * BLUE BEAT 23 * UK

This R&B flavored instrumental is on the flip side of Chuck and Darby's Cool School, one of Arthur 'Duke' Reid's earliest productions, released in 78 rpm format on his embryonic Duke Reid label. The cut has an extended saxophone break, which veers between a mellow R&B riff and some Jazz passages, the saxophone is followed by a trombone solo.
