[Dixielandjazz] Tommy Turk - OKOM?

[Stephen Barbone]

If you want to hear some of Tommy Turk's genius, you might try getting
of copy of 3 CDs just about to be reissued. Warning, it is not OKOM for
most of you. But then, check the song titles. Many of them are familiar.
Who knows, you might get to enjoy a little bebop.

Note also that Dick Broadie's favorite, Danzig in the Dark is on the
first CD, song #21. :-) VBG.

Turk is not on all of them, but you will get a taste. Note that there
are some MONSTER players here. Even Mitch Miller on oboe before he went
commercial. ;-) VBG because I heard a very funny (risque) story from him
years ago, about one of his lady friends. (Yes, he had a few).

Cheers,
Steve
