[Dixielandjazz] Dick Oakley

[Dan Augustine]

Folks--
     Dan here again, ready to leap out once more clothed in yet 
another gleaming suit of ignorance.  To (or perhaps, half) wit:
     Just bought a CD that has both Bobby Hackett's and Jack 
Teagarden's groups on it, from live concerts in 1957 and 1958. 
Teagarden has a trumpet player with him that i like a lot, named Dick 
Oakley, who reminds me at times of either Don Goldie or Dick 
Cathcart, but has plenty of his own originality.  Great stuff.
     So how many 'Oakley's are out there?  Bill, Leon, and now Dick; 
related?  Casual searching on the web reveals that Dick Oakley played 
with the Salt City (Five and/or Six), and once with Dave Remington. 
Any other bands he was with?
     Thanks.

     Dan

P. S. The Bobby Hackett Sextet has Dick Cary on piano/alto horn, plus 
John Dengler playing wonderful tuba.  Plus they are the only OKOM 
band i know of to play the Thelonious Monk piece, "Off-Minor" (which 
is also the name of the CD).
