[Dixielandjazz] Early Dixieland Tuba Solos CD

[Robert S. Ringwald]

Dan,

Don't forget the really tasty solo on the Firehouse 5 + 2 recording of 
Fidgety Feet.  Might have been Don Kinch or George Brunz.

Also, Rich Madison on Mississippi Mud with the Bob Scoby Frisco JB.  This 
recording also had our late Listmate Jim Beebe on trombone.

> Folks--

> c. 1950-2004 that i put onto a CD.  I didn't have room for dixieland 
> tuba-playing songs from before that, so i made another CD of songs from 
> the 1920s through the early 1950s in which the tuba-player is agile, 
> inventive, or just plain good--whether or not he actually takes a solo. 
> Since there were fewer players, i was able to include a number of songs by 
> each player.  Quite a few of these songs are currently available on 
> http://www.redhotjazz.com if you want to make your own. These are by no 
> means the only good examples of fine tuba-playing, just the ones that i've 
> discovered so far.  I would especially like to find more songs and more 
> information about Clinton Walker, who is just great. The cut by Country 
> Washburne ain't dixieland, i know, but so far i haven't been able to find
