Brainstorm (Erratic Blues) - Debroy Somers' Band - Columbia 4334

Despite Debroy Somers output being mostly pedestrian in jazz terms, he seems to have had an affinity for "blues" numbers - he oversaw the excellent 12" Savoy Havana Band blues sides in 1923, and then this recording in 1927, the only British dance band version of Joe Sanders' famous hit.
