Here's the scoop...
Alex Pangman & Her Alleycats' new music video will premiere on YouTube tonight (January 12) at 8pm Eastern which you can watch below.
"If We Never Meet Again" is a Louis Armstrong composition that was chosen during the darkest times of the first wave, and recorded safely in isolation booths in summer 2020. Pangman notes, “Jazz music saw nations through the 1918 flu pandemic, the second world war, and many other crises. It's built for catharsis, distraction, and also celebration. I'm hopeful that 2021 will bring celebration!” You can hear that hopefulness when she sings, too.
The Alleycats quintet are John MacLeod on cornet, Peter Hill on piano, Glenn Anderson on drums and Chris Banks on the bass. Directed by Sean Ryan, the session was made possible by a COVID-19 grant from the Canada Council For the Arts, with Jeremy Darby at Toronto's Canterbury Music Company.
Check out Alex Pangman's version of "If We Never Meet Again) followed by Louis Armstrong's original 1936 version of the tune he co-wrote with Horace Gerlach below.
