[Dixielandjazz] Milton Batiste

[Vaxtrpts at aol.com]

Soon  there wiil come out a CD of the Olympia Brass Band of Harold Dejean  
recorded at the Breda Jazzfest ±1976 on the small  "Little Label" of  the 
Dutch reedsplayer Albert Klein as LL-009. The sound quality is rather  good 
for an 'open air' recording.Adam told me today that it captures  Milton
as his best! Especially on the Spiritual "Just a closer walk with  Thee" he 
was in a excellent form!

When I lived in New Orleans, I got to play with Olympia a couple of times,  
thanks to Milton.
A great guy and a wonderful "outdoor" brass band player.  Boy, could  he 
project!
