[Dixielandjazz] Baritone as Trombone?

[D and R Hardie]

Hi everybody,
                       It may seem  a bit trivial, but the baritone horn 
had a distinguished history in early New Orleans jazz bands. As I 
recall, Jack Laine and Georg Brunis were baritone players and there 
were others. It would be interesting to hear early jazz played on the 
instrument.
regards.
