[Dixielandjazz] Looking for a Trombone Player who can Read

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

Actually there are a couple that I know of, listmate Bruce Strangeland 
has a band, and there is the spirit of 29 Dixieland Band ran by Elliott 
???   There was another one in Orinda/Lafayette a while back but I have 
not seen or heard of them in a long time, they used to play at 
Freddie's Pizza Parlour once in a while.  Older guys as I recall.  
Can't remember the name , but I think one of them used to be on the 
DJML when I first discovered it and joined up.   Seems he was about 80 
something and had some computer problems, with posting sometimes, maybe 
he just gave up.

Cheers,

Tom Wiggins

    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
