Clyde McCoy<\/a> is best remembered for his theme song “Sugar Blues” which brought attention to his trademark “wah-wah” effects on the muted trumpet.\u00a0 He recorded the song in 1931 for Columbia and again in 1935 after he began recording for Decca.<\/p>\n

The two sides here feature McCoy’s trumpet playing – but you won’t hear much in the way of “Sugar Blues” style “wah-wah.”\u00a0 Both are quite jazzy.<\/p>\n

“I’ve Found A New Baby” has a very nice hot arrangement. “Mood Indigo” was popularized by Duke Ellington and many bands have performed the song through the years.\u00a0 I think the version here is one of the more impressive.<\/p>\n

One bit of Clyde McCoy trivia: he was a descendant of the same family that became famous for the Hatfield-McCoy feud<\/a>.<\/p>\n
