[Dixielandjazz] Jimmy LaRocca

[Tom Wood]

Dear Listers and Bill Salmond,

Following up on the Singing and Blues thread please note that the now
correct and full title for the currently running Edinburgh Jazz Festival is,
believe it or not, "Starbucks Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival".  As well as
Bill Salmond's Louisiana Ragtime Band with Big Al Carson and Nick LaRocca's
Original Dixieland Jazz Band, this year it includes Van Morrison, the
Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra,  Hot Antic Jazz Band, Barbara Morrison,
Humphrey Lyttelton Band, Kenny Davern Quartet and Duke Heitger's New Orleans
All Stars. (a young American trumpeter who is widely regarded as the heir to
Louis Armstrong).  Sorry we have missed this years festival but we already
travelled to Europe earlier this year.
Cheers,
Tom (giving the hometown a plug) Wood

Hi,
    Heard Jimmy LaRocca's Original Dixieland Jazz Band last night at the
Edinburgh Jazz Festival. Great trumpet playing and a band which included
players of the quality of Tom Fischer. They played some interesting original
material as well as standards and had that wonderful sound that could only
come from New Orleans.
    Bill Salmond.
