Sweet Georgia Brown is a great song and one of the most played jazz standards. The following video clip shows Bernie Ben performing Sweet Georgia Brown in 1925. Ben Bernie was one of the composers of the song (along with Ken Casey and Maceo Pinkard), so this is as close to the original you can get.
It's said that this video clip shows the first recorded saxophone solo. I think it's one of the best hot jazz versions I've heard.
What do you think of Ben Bernies version of Sweet Georgia Brown? Tell me.
