[Dixielandjazz] trumpet player's education

[Adaywayne at aol.com]

The late Frank Assunto was one of the best. I have an LP of the Dukes with 
Louis sitting in. Good stuff. I used to listen to thwmmat the Velvet Swing in 
Chicago in the early 1960s........ Barrett Deems was with them, as well as Gene 
Schroeder and Cutty Cutshall.

Also found one Dukes Of Dixieland tune (Hold That Tiger) and the tpt
player - Assunto? - sounds a lot - on this one hearing - like Roy Eldridge.
Lots of fire in his sound.  Agree or disagree?
