Hey guys,
   I can't tell you the instruments for the other fellows -- but I once used
Joe Muranyi for one of my shows in New York -- and he's a fabulous reed man
(he was subbing for the fantastic Mike Hashim who at the time was the leader
of the Widespread Depression Jazz Orchestra but had just gotten a gig to
play the Montreal Jazz Festival -- and of course, I told him to go with the
bigger gig!
