Basin Street Blues by Spencer Williams Piano, Vocal - Digital Sheet Music

By Spencer Williams

"Basin Street Blues" is a song often performed by Dixieland jazz bands, written by Spencer Williams in 1928 and recorded that year by Louis Armstrong. The verse with the lyric "Won't you come along with me / To the Mississippi..." was later added by Glenn Miller and Jack Teagarden. The Basin Street of the title refers to the main street of Storyville, the red-light district of early 20th-century New Orleans, north of the French Quarter. It became a red light district in 1897. This version features a root-based chord blocking that John and I have used in a number of our arrangements. For interest and "to keep the rhythm moving", we added some pretty cool left-hand fills. We hope you like what we've done with the song!
