The album "Little David Play On Your Harp Hesitating Blues" by "Muggsy" Spanier And His Orchestra "Muggsy" Spanier And His Ragtimers is a classic jazz album that showcases the incredible talent of the band. The album features a mix of traditional jazz tunes and original compositions, all of which are played with precision and passion.

One of the standout tracks on the album is the title track, "Little David Play On Your Harp Hesitating Blues." This bluesy tune is played with a slow, deliberate pace that allows the musicians to really dig in and explore the nuances of the melody. The result is a hauntingly beautiful performance that is sure to leave listeners spellbound.

Another highlight of the album is "At The Jazz Band Ball," a classic tune that has become a staple of the jazz repertoire. "Muggsy" Spanier and his band give the song their own unique spin, infusing it with their signature style and energy.

Wonderful music from long ago; the shiny shellac gives up its secrets to you and you kindly share it. Thank you

Muggsy's "Great 16" are rightly acknowledged as superb examples of Dixieland jazz, but his few sides from '42, too, are marvelous. The group here is a contingent from the big band he briefly led during the period. Vernon Brown, best known for his association with the Goodman band, the underrated and Stacy-esque Dave Bowman and one of my favorite clarinetists, Irving Fazola, as well as the leader himself all take beautiful solos.
