Kid Thomas Band/ Raymond Burke - Kid Thomas Band with Raymond BurkeThis is a reissue of an original 1960 recording featuring Kid Thomas' band with Raymond Burke added on clarinet. Recorded by Dr. John Phelan (who gave a copy of the tapes to the Hogan Jazz Archive in Tulane), the session was finally issued in the late '70s, but it has been out of print for some time. Also features Emanuel Paul, Louis Nelson, Joe James, Creole George Guesnon, Slow Drag Pavageau and Sammy Penn.

His followers are a small and devoted tribe

Broken Social Scene

"Move That Thing"

something calling to be touched yet remaining intangible

but with the way bugs reproduce

Piano Boogie and New Orleans R&B

he forms Shadow Garden

where he receives coaching from Louis Lortie and Avo Kouyoumdjian

along with selected titles from his several dance-focused albums during these years

and liner notes

so to speak

This LP was the first of many UK anthologies of recordings from the Detroit-based group of labels
