[Dixielandjazz] Sam Morgan band- was Ya'll got Altzheimers

[Ron L'Herault]

Might as well put this on the list.

I've heard several recordings by the Morgan Band and the Black Eagles up
here in New England play some of their material.  They were a great New
Orleans style (but if memory serves)albeit, slightly larger band.  The
trombone often played muted.   I like the way the instruments wove their
lines in and around each other.   I'd have to consult Rust to list all the
players.  Maybe, unless someone else fleshes this out during the day, I'll
do that from home tonight.

    It is my warped sense of humor.  You wanted someone to talk (stories)
about Sam Morgan and I immediately thought of that line from one of his
recordings.  Everybody's talking about Sammy.  Maybe it was an incorrect
answer to the right post! 8-)

  Hi Ron:

  See I really did need somebody who knew these guys, I never heard the song
and don't know of the band at all, except for finding one song by them on a
Cd called
  "Jazz the World Forgot"    I thought it might stir up some interesting
threads on the list and I might learn something about these bands and
players.

  Cheers,

  Tom
