[Dixielandjazz] Mal Sharpe' Dixieland Band

[Artwoo at aol.com]

The last time I heard Mal's band, he had Tom Buck on cornet, Petey Devine  on 
washboard and Clint Baker on drums or string bass and several other  
musicians.
 
Mal plays trombone in the style of Kid Ory and does a good job; he  produces 
an enjoyable and earthy performance.
 
IMHO the band is quite good and worth checking out, particularly on Sundays  
at The No-Name Bar in Sausalito which is right near the  waterfront in a very 
picturesque setting.
 
Mal is a great front man in my opinion and connects well with the audience.  
He has a very dry sense of humor which many Bay Area folks will remember from  
his famous pranks-and bizarre interviews on the street played on KGO radio  
with Jim Coyle.
