Season 2 Episode 5-January 17, 1949

The new year is already a few weeks old, and the guys are into a good groove: Bob, Ralph Collier on drums, Jud De Naut playing bass and Ray Sherman on piano. After our "Sweet Georgia Brown" intro, we hear all four guy's voices at one point or another, Bob's scripted reminiscence about Margo singing in his living room leads into "My Darling", then the quartet romps through "Brazil". Cole Porter's "Just One Of Those Things" is right up Margo's alley, and the quartet sounds great in the instrumental break, even playing in 3/4 at one point (Bob keeps those arrangements interesting). They close things out with the Ellington standard "Cotton Tail", Bob even quotes the famous Ben Webster lick for us. "Lady Be Good" takes us out for this episode, but stay tuned, we'll be right back in a week!
