Sam Butera cut some great, bluesy horn numbers for RCA from 1953 and ’54. One of the great, slow groovers released on the 1989 compliation ‘Hot New Orleans Nights’ is this dirty boogie — ‘Wailing Walk’. We’ve exploded it out for the whole band to have some fun. It kicks off with a slow head into an ensemble section with open solos (including backing parts). Let your horns have some fun blowing over this great Blues!
