> I bought this cd not knowing anything about the group Wild Bull was
playing with.

environment

>   I confess, not knowing who Chuck Slate is, I expected to hear Davison
struggling along

the "Wild one."

exactly like what

>   If anyone is informed about those guys in Slates group, please inform
me. My guess

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.
