As you can hear from the audience reaction, it was a great treat and thrill for German audiences in the early 1950's to have the opportunity to see not only a great figure from the authentic world of the Blues, Big Bill Broonzy, but also to be entertainedby the consummate "Traditional" Jazz band of Graeme Bell. The recording quality is superb, matching the performances of both Broonzy and the Bell group. For authenticity, this retains the original German announcements, for which a translation is providied in the notes.
