Worth the Price for the Jazzy Sax
By Traveler from Atlanta, GA on 2/15/2008
Pros:
Engaging, Original
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Messy Bessy is one of Dave Bartholomew's early song-writing efforts and is, frankly, a fairly ridiculous lyric. However, the whole middle section is a terrific jazzy saxophone, reflecting the junction of New Orleans Jazz and early R&B.
