[Dixielandjazz] Fwd: Now here is a gig for a Hot Clarinet player

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

Pretty close Dave:

They sound a bit like Artie Shaw and Pete Fountain on Acid and 
definitely intend on taking Sin and Debauchery to a new level. :))


Just trying to put their own stamp on the traditional sounds,  
personally I have a lot of old early OKOM recordings that simply do not 
sound any different to my ears yet they are revered and worshipped by 
many OKOM fanatics.

These kids are just trying to make it relevant to today's world and 
perceived anticipated sound from their peers.

Cheers,

Tom

   Tom & all, 
 
 I am listening to their sample tracks right now 
 (3 clips at http://www.myspace.com/thegomorrans ) 
  and I think this is where OKOM might be once most of us old-farts 
check out! 
 
  I really like what they are doing - a mix of Klezmer, trad jazz, 
vaudeville, blues - very melodic and fun without being "historically 
accurate!" 
 I will be looking for more from them. 
 
  And whatever clarinetist takes it on will have a lot of real work to 
do!
