[Dixielandjazz] FW: [JPL] Goldkette Lives

This is a posting from another list I subscribe to, the Jazz Programmer's 
List.  Interesting stuff from Steel City – to say nothing of Clinton, IA!

(Mike, I took the liberty of cc-ing you on this.  I don't know if you're 
aware of [or interested in] this dixieland e-mail list.)

There are loads of fine musicians performing and recording vintage and 
traditional jazz, which there is scarcely any place for in the realm of jazz 
radio.

Here is a busy musician who isn't complaining: this young band leader out of 
Clinton, Iowa has an orchestra that plays brilliantly in the style of the 
1927-28 Jean Goldkette band, and is enjoying plenty of bookings in the Quad 
Cities.

He is 23-year old Josh Duffee (pronounced "Duffy"), a drummer.  Duffee's 
band, like Vince Giordano's in the east and Don Neeley's on the west coast, 
features vintage arrangements -- with spirited, capable adlib solos.  Duffee 
and his associates have the 1927 sound and spirit.  On their current CD the 
orchestra plays with wonderful zest, and probably with more proficiency than 
99-percent of the dance bands of the so-called Jazz Age.

Duffee has mastered several drum styles.  He loves (and gives clinics on) 
Dave Tough, Ray Bauduc and Ray McKinley -- each of whom drove a band with 
subtlety -- and Duffee himself is no garage-builder, but plays unobtrusively 
when performing with his big band.

We have been featuring Duffee's disc on both the syndicated and local (and 
webstreamed) versions of Rhythm Sweet & Hot.  Duffee is extremely 
knowledgeable about the jazz of the 20s and 30s and is impressively 
articulate.  You can write to him at jgoldkette at aol.com.

Here are a couple of recent Rhythm Sweet & Hot play lists:
