[Dixielandjazz] Re: searching for Don Goldie

[Dan Augustine]

Folks--
     As an admirer of Don Goldie's playing, i felt 
my ears stiffen into little tufted points when i 
saw the message about him.  I have an old LP of 
Goldie with Teagarden called "Jack Teagarden at 
the Roundtable" (Roulette R-25091, 1959), which 
is marvelous.
     Further intrigued by the seeming lack of 
Goldie Recordings, i rummaged around the web via 
Google and found the following at 
http://www.music.com/person/don_goldie/1/:

"A talented soloist with a wide range, Don Goldie 
[+] was the son of longtime Paul Whiteman [+] 
trumpeter Harry Goldfield [+]. Goldie performed 
with many types of groups, including with Buddy 
Rich [+] and the society band of Lester Lanin 
[+], before gaining prominence for his playing 
with Jack Teagarden [+]'s Dixieland sextet (from 
1959 until the trombonist's death in 1964). 
Goldie eventually settled in Miami, where in the 
early '70s he recorded 11 albums for Jazz Forum, 
many of which were dedicated to the work of one 
composer. A fixture in Miami clubs and hotels, 
Don Goldie [+] committed suicide in 1995.  Posted 
by Scott Yanow [+] | Jun 18, 2004"

Also listed are these recordings:

Solo Releases
1982	Don Goldie [+]	Don Goldie's Dangerous Jazz Band [+]
1977	Don Goldie [+]	The Best of Jimmy McHugh [+]
1962	Don Goldie [+]	Trumpet Exodus [+]
1962	Don Goldie [+]	Trumpet Caliente [+]
1961	Don Goldie [+]	Brilliant [+]
Appearances
1976	The Sir Douglas Quintet [+]	The Tracker [+]

The inclusion of the last recording narrowed my 
eyes into penetrating orbs of curiosity (hey, 
"fustian" is my middle name), as Doug Sahm was 
the leader of an Austin band:

"Arguably the greatest and most influential 
Tex-Mex group ever, the Sir Douglas Quintet [+] 
epitomized Texas' reputation as a fertile roots 
music melting pot and established the career of 
Tex-Mex cult legend Doug Sahm [+]. The Quintet 
mixed country, blues, jazz, R&B, Mexican 
conjunto/norteño music, Cajun dances, British 
Invasion rock & roll, garage rock, and even 
psychedelia into a heady stew that could only 
have come from Texas. Although they went largely 
underappreciated during their existence (mostly 
in the '60s), their influence was far-reaching 
and continues to be felt in Texas (particularly 
the similarly eclectic Austin scene) and beyond .

     Listmate Will Connelly also knows quite a bit about Goldie.
