    This is interesting that Matty would say this.  Eddie Miller's clarinet 
solo on the Bob Cats "South Rampart St. Parade"is one of my all time favorite 
clarinet solos...right next to Irving Fazola's solo on "March of the 
Bobcats". I have never heard Eddie play clarinet on anything else...did he?

&nbsp; Lots of label errors then -- and now. 
&nbsp; I studied arranging with Matty Matlock and learned a lot of stories about 
the Crosby Band days.One&nbsp; time he told me the story on how a gushing jazz 
enthusiast came up to him after a set and said..."Oh, Mr Matlock. I love 
your playing. I have the original record of&nbsp; South Rampart Street Parade and 
just loved your solo on it." 
&nbsp; Matty, ever the gentle gentleman from Paducah, smiled and thanked the 
gushee, but added..."however, the solo on South Rampart was not me, but Mr. 
Eddie Miller.!" 
&nbsp; He told me that people had been crediting that clarinet solo to him for 
years. "Frankly, Eddie was really the best clarinetist of all of us on the 
band. That he happened to play the best tenor sax around just seemed to mask 
that fact."
