[Dixielandjazz] Re: How to get started improvising

[Bill Haesler]

Dear John,
Regarding KB's piano player in the mid 1950s: >During the interval I got
chatting to his piano player (Pat something-or-other, who used to run a sports
shop in Woodford) and told him that I played a little piano too - and to my
delight he asked me to sit in for a couple of numbers.
Would that have been Pat Mason?
Went on to play with Mick Mulligan, Freddy Randall and Dave Jones.
Kind regards,
Bill.
