[Dixielandjazz] TOMMY TURK

[Stephen Barbone]

Hi Jim

Or you might try and find this one. Turk is heard on the first 4 tracks.
Looks like an eclectic mix of modern jazz and OKOM. The 4 cuts that Turk
is on is an interesting band. (Turk, Rosolino, Phillips, Brown, Rich) No
chord instrument, or did they leave someone out? I don't know as I never
heard it. So many records, so little time. :-) VBG.

Turk was, as you say, a monster player and almost completely overlooked.

Cheers,
Steve
