[Dixielandjazz] Re: Early Dixieland Tuba Solos

[Dan Augustine]

Bob, Bill, and DJML--
     Yes, that was Don Kinch on a very tasty tuba (but he sometimes 
also played a helicon) on "Fidgety Feet" on the 1960 album _Dixieland 
Favorites_ by The Firehouse Five Plus Two (but the label-number was 
Good Time Jazz M 12040, not 12044).
     I started playing along with this solo back in 1960 and can still 
play it (just did it, matter of fact).  Kinch was an excellent 
tuba-player, but he also played some fine trumpet, such as on my 
favorite Turk Murphy recording, _Music for Losers_ (Verve MGV-1013, 
1957), long out of print and never put onto CD, unfortunately.  Don't 
have the Rich Matteson solo on Scobey's LP (drat).

     Dan

Dear Bob,
I believe that it was, indeed, Don Kinch.
If you are talking about The Good Time Jazz LP 12044.
Kind regards,
Bill.
