Hesitation Blues - Nathan Wolman and Friends

Nathan Wolman (trumpet) and Friends play "Hesitation Blues" outside Snug Harbor Jazz Club in New Orleans.
"I did a deep dive into the history of  “Hesitation Blues” and it  was the first twelve-bar blues to be known throughout the country, circulating in print and reworked in oral tradition, mostly in versions that were far too dirty to be printed or recorded. Robert Winslow Gordon and Hubert Canfield both collected multiple versions in the 1920s, and Jelly Roll Morton recalled one for Alan Lomax that he’d apparently heard in New Orleans around the turn of the century." ~ Elijah Wald
