[Dixielandjazz] Turk and his recordings>>Lonesome Road

 Can anyone tell me which LP Turk and Pat Yankee played Lonesome Road. That had a great tuba solo, probably by Bob Short?

  Some list members have known or played with Turk in days past. I have many  
of his LP's. The "trademark," if it can be called one, is a very subdued cornet 
 on all recordings, with cornet solos rather rare. Most solo work is done by 
Turk  or the reed man on soprano or clarinet.
I have always wondered-was this by design? If so, whose?? Did Turk have  a  
ego that kept him from allowing the cornet to front the band? Or did the  
producers plan it this way.? Did the cornet remained subdued when the band was  
live?
As great as the band is, it sounds out of balance on my recordings-I have  to 
listen carefully to hear the cornet parts.  Turk definitely dominates  things 
all the way through.
 
Any information about this out  there??                             Ted  (who 
wants to know!!)
