[Dixielandjazz] More For the Tubists on the List

[Steve barbone]

If you are a tubist, or tuba loving fan, and anywhere within 500 miles of
New York City next Wednesday, October 26, you might make the trip to Sweet
Rhythm to see/hear the legendary Howard Johnson and his six tuba band. Yeah,
he is a "modern" player, but still at his advanced age, one of the best
players that ever strapped on a tuba.

It is all part of a jazz renaissance in NYC these days. ALL KINDS OF JAZZ
including lots of OKOM now being played in Big Apple clubs/bars etc.

Cheers,
Steve
