about

"Serpent Maigre" (aka "Sepan Meg") is a biguine from the repertoire of Martiniquan clarinetist Alexandre Stellio (1885-1939) who led a band in Paris in the 1920s and '30s. Charlie discovered it a couple years ago on a biguine compilation he ran across and we started messing around with it at our weekly gigs.
Steve's "pocky way" tuba groove gives this reading a New Orleans second line feel, Aurora takes the solo on the A section at the repeat of the form. Listen for Charlie's hot obligato behind the reeds on both B sections.
