[Dixielandjazz] CD- Wild Bill "Live At The Chester Inn"

[Martin Nichols]

I bought this cd not knowing anything about the group Wild Bull was playing with.
  "Chuck Slate Traditional Jazz Band, Vol. One 1970."
   
  I just figured it was worth the price to hear the "man" in a different environment
  than the "usual" ,i.e., with the Condon gang.
   
  I confess, not knowing who Chuck Slate is, I expected to hear Davison struggling along
  with a local band that was probably pretty incompetent in comparison to the "Wild one."
   
  However; I was surprised to hear several tracks of hot jazz that sounded exactly like what
  one would have heard at Condon's place "back in the day."
   
  If anyone is informed about those guys in Slates group, please inform me. My guess
  is that all of them had been playing as "subs" or even regulars at Condon's at one time or another. So many instances of doing it just as the Condon gang would have- breaks, riffs,
  tags, etc.  Personnel:
  Davison-cornet
  Chuck Slate -drums
  Marv Ross-clarinet
  Marty Bergen-trombone
  Lou Levi-piano
  Warren Vache Sr.-bass
   
  Incidently, I have put "fresh" mp3's on myspace.
