[Dixielandjazz] Obbligato????????

[Bill Gunter]

Hi all,

I don't know . . . it just seemed like fun at the time.

I'm not sure that a thread which prompts various points of view and goes on 
for a couple of days is what I would call "knocking ourselves over nothing." 
  It's a lovely day, we're often between gigs and such topics are amusing to 
play with when there's nothing else constructive to do.

How about a list of famous obbligatos in jazz tunes? Does that stimulate 
anybody's grey matter?

Respectfully submitted,
