Memphis Slim (John Len Chatman) (September 3, 1915 – February 24, 1988), was quite an accomplished singer/songwriter/pianist and his music was a mix of blues, vintage R & B and swinging jazz.
I came across Rock and Rolling the House on his Paris Missippi Blues compilation, a two CD set that my wife found for me, and it is great fun.
This is a live version with a fabulous stand up bass solo.
Hope you enjoy it below.
