1961 recording of Franz Jackson and his Original Jass All-Stars in their heyday at The Red Arrow nighclub in Stickney, Illinois. Franz and his band played as the house band at the Red Arrow for over a decade to critical acclaim. This is a true slice of Chicago/New Orleans style traditional jazz and listeners will get a real feel for what it was like to hear the band in it's "natural habitat" of that time. As Franz says of this CD: "Let me take you back in time when we played some really wonderful, foot-tapping, finger-snapping, hand-clapping music."
