[Dixielandjazz] Turk Murphy band horn-placement

[Mike Durham]

Just found a picture of Jimmy Stanislaus, he is (was?) indeed 
African-American, and was at one time a professional boxer (lightwieight). 
Turk met him in the late 1930's, and used to kid him by calling him 
"Canvasback" Stanislaus. More in Jim Goggin's invaluable 'Turk Murphy - Just 
For The Record', but I would guess this is the man you heard with Turk in 
1977, Brian.

Mike.
