[Dixielandjazz] Tributes and Re-Creations

[Bruce Stangeland]

Marek,

In your discussion about tributes and re-creations, you wondered about 
the English band "Muggsy Remembered".

They were the featured band on May 22, 2005 for the New Orleans Jazz 
Club of Northern California. They were certainly alive and well on that 
afternoon. Later that week they played at the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee.

What IS a recreation, Steve?  Origonal scores often leave room for
fresh solos.  I have heard the Midri Brothers on tape, and their
playing did not sound a slavish copy to me.
If Ed Metz's arrangements are adapted, they are not a slavish copy!
There is (was?) a British band that called itself "Muggsy Remembered."
 It played tunes associated with Muggsy, but was far from a copycat!
By the way, it also recorded a tribute to the Bobcats.
Cheers,
Marek
