[Dixielandjazz] Re. Handling cancellations and breaks - rhythm section features

[Nancy Giffin]

David Dustin asked:
...some clients always beg us or demand we play through because they are
afraid folks will start to walk if we stop for a break.  So we wear down our
high brass and the heavy improv falls on the bone and the clarinet who never
seem to get a break.  I am very interested in how others deal with this
issue.

Hi David,

As an audience member, I am often happy to hear the rhythm section featured
while the horns rest their chops. Piano players always have something good
up their sleeves, and if they have a decent bass and drum for backup, the
results can be crowd pleasing.

Happy New Year!
Love and hugs,
Nancy
