While You're Sneakin' Out (Somebody Else Is Eazin' In) - George McClennon's Jazz Devils (1926)

A rollicking hot number with a hilarious title from clarinetist George McClennon and his Jazz Devils from 1926. Wonderful ensemble playing and solos - has an intriguing energy that is both relentlessly vivacious and laid back at the same time. What sounds like a tenor or baritone sax kicks in around the 0:52 mark and a rousing cornet drives it home at the 1:20 mark. I've been listening to this all afternoon and just love it! Recorded with Okeh's Truetone process - which in this case sounds pretty good to my ears! A very exciting addition to the Jazz Crazy archive from the collection of Joe Bussard. Recorded in New York City on June 18, 1926. Released as Okeh 8329.
