[Dixielandjazz] Al Hirt - Bio - Haydn trumpet concerto

[Dan Augustine]

     Don't bother.  I've got an old LP of him playing the Haydn 
trumpet concerto with (as i recall) the Boston Pops, and he plays the 
notes, but his classical style is terrible.  Maurice Andre he ain't, 
and Wynton Marsalis is ten times better at classical stuff (but still 
no Maurice Andre).
