[Dixielandjazz] Bass Ale Blues

[David Richoux]

Joe Tarto, "Titan of the Tuba"  sorry, don't have the lyrics.

Joe wrote the book on how to play jazz tuba/bass - Basic Rhythms and 
the Art of Jazz Improvisation. as I recall it is still available 
through http://charlescolin.com/descript.htm

by the way - I found this interesting website of use to record 
collectors:
