[Dixielandjazz] African-Americans in Jazz

[Bobolink7736 at aol.com]

Well, I guess jazzboard scored fine with his handling of this question.  But 
I just wish y'all could hear Jim Beebe ripping it up on "That DA DA Strain," 
on this CD of his band showing off the work of Franz Jackson.  And then there's 
also "High Society" here
too, and plenty of others.  OK so I want to hear more about trombonists in 
Dixieland
Jazz.
Best wishes to all,

Still trying to play cornet and have gone back to trombone as well.
Although I have musicians with whom I can jam--and all of them are 
African-Americans--, I have to admit we play no Dixieland, EVER, nor do we listen to more
than about three tunes when we're listening to music.  It just ain't where 
these guys
are at.  Ever though they claim to believe it is the most difficult of the 
jazz styles.
