Couldn't find the "Persian Market" recording. Probably most major magic stage shows at some point used "In a Persian Market" in one of their productions. Many collections of circus music also include this song, which was probably most often used for the elephant acts.Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-72036772722750771842010-07-19T22:45:03.548-07:002010-07-19T22:45:03.548-07:00My thanks to all of you who participated and comme...My thanks to all of you who participated and commented.

That's interesting, Brother.<br /><br />I have a version of it on a "Best Of Ralph Marterie" CD that my Ma gave to me as a gift years ago. She loved Marterie's "stuffs" and danced to it in her youth. I really dig it too, but I sure as hell don't dance to it! :o)<br /><br />Marterie's version of "Persian Market" is considerably different from the version you have playing here. His starts out with a honking baritone saxophone and is overall a good deal more energetic.<br /><br />In fact, I find some of Marterie's stuffs pretty intriguing because he utilizes some elements that would later form the foundation of early Rock 'N' Roll and R&B. A musician who was, in a way, some years ahead of his time. <br /><br />Anyway, he does a pretty rousing version of "In A Persian Market", and I really like it, just as I like a good deal of his other numbers.<br /><br />I gotta say, my Ma (may she rest in peace) turned me onto a couple of old musician blokes who became favorites of mine. Another one is Clyde McCoy.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.
