[Dixielandjazz] Looking for a Trombone Player who can Read

[Steve barbone]

Looking at it again, I don't think blue bone express is the band in question
that placed the following ad:

> We are a long established traditional Dixieland band playing in the style of
> Lu Waters and Turk Murphys' San Francisco sound. We are looking for a
> trombone player who is experienced with Dixieland Jazz and can read music.
> We rehearse in Oakland, and perform often. Please contact us for details.

Here's why: (according to the Bluebone website and sound clips)

1) Blue Bone Express was established in late 2004. First gig, Fall 2004.
That is certainly not a "long established Dixieland Band".

2) Blue Bone Express does not play in the Turk Murphy Lu Watters Style. And
certainly does not have a "San Francisco" sound. (listen on their site)

Therefore, unless they are trying to fool people, they don't come anywhere
close to the first sentence in the ad. Wow, could there be 2 trad bands in
Oakland, or three counting Wiggins?

Cheers,
Steve
