The first featured album on Trad. Jazz Radio is....

CLAP HANDS by The Jazz-o-matic Four is a really thoughtfully arranged album by Dutchmen Peter Ivan (cornet) Ad Houtepen (bass saxophone) Hans De Bruijn (piano) and Tom Stuip (banjo) who breath some new life into some nice old 1920's tunes. The combination of instruments lends the band it's own sound and they actually sound as full as a bigger band with all the instruments taking solos and with some nice voicing together.
Titles are clap hands here comes Charley, a pretty girl is like a melody, at the jazzband ball, Chloe, Clementine, Jellyroll, do something, keeping out of mischief, linger a while, nature boy, oh miss Hannah, ragamuffin Romeo and sneaker.
The album was recorded in March, 2004 in the Netherlands and is available from Tom Stuip, Java straat 98, 2585AV Den Haag, Netherlands or by contacting Tom at classicjazz@planet.nl or Peter at p.ivan@wanadoo.nl
Trad. Jazz Radio would like to thank the band for their support and wish them success in the future.
