THE BLACK BOTTOM, first written in 1909 but not widely popular until 1926-27 when it was featured in a Harlem show, has become the unofficial theme song for Jack Hutton and Friends. Videotaped July 20 2012 at the Gravenhurst Opera House. Brian Bauer on tenor and baritone saxes plus clarinet. Bob Livingston on trombone. Ric Giorgi on string bass. Will Wilson on banjo. Jack Hutton on piano. The group gets together only once a year, but always manages to sound like one of your favorite vintage 78 recordings. About as authentic as you can get!
