[Dixielandjazz] Re: Sad News

[Dan Augustine]

     Lowell Miller also played with the Assunto Dukes of Dixieland, 
and does a very fine solo (possibly his own arrangement?) on "The 
Whiffenpoof Song" on their "On Campus" LP, one of the best tuba solos 
in the 1950s.  I memorized it and have played along with it for 
years.  Always wondered what had happened to him, what other bands he 
played with, but i never heard of any others.  He will not be 
forgotten.
