[Dixielandjazz] Elkhart Jazz Festival re John Allred

[Kay Spencer]

My suspicion is that John may have had a conflict now that he is playing lead tb with Harry Connick Jr in Pajama Game on Broadway.  I actually saw him playing backup to Connick on the Ellen Degeneres show two or three weeks ago.  Very cool gig.

Due to my cold we decided to stay at one venue that evening, so we hunkered
down at the Elco Theater, where we caught a set with Bill Allred's Classic
Jazz Band. We were kind of surprised that John Allred wasn't playing in the
band or doing any solo playing? Does anybody know why not? I didn't get a
chance to ask.
