[Dixielandjazz] Old 78 rpm

[Stan Brager]

Yes, Bob, that recording is worth something although both have been reissued
on CD with all the scratches and pops cleaned up. Still, there are those who
cherish the originals.

Yes, Rollini was also a mainstay of some of the best work by Bix and Tram.
Earlier he played with the California Ramblers. Initially, he played the
xylophone. When the California Ramblers gig came up, he was told that the
needed someone to play the bass sax. The story goes that he learned to play
that bass sax within 2 weeks.
