Struttin with Some Barbecue

[deacon Mark]

This is a really old tune but frankly I have dug it out and I really like the tune. It has some nice lines and can even be made into a Latin thing. Reminds me a bit of a Latin tune I cannot remember the name? In any case I think it makes for great tune to play in set and wondered if anyone plays it. The tune is one that I heard on a Don Goldie recording that had my old guitar buddy and instructor playing in the group Fred Rundquist.

I’ve played quite a few times on trad jazz gigs. One of my favourites of the early repertoire.

I really like this Gil Evans arrangement

i can hear it as a Latin tune!

I played it also a long time ago in guitar duo/traditional stuff/.
I think Louis Armstrong played it too.As I remember.

I like this chart, but as far as I can recall this is the only time my band ever performed it. I'll have to see if I can get the leader interested again:
