[Dixielandjazz] Turk Murphy

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

I was just mentioning to someone else off list that I probably listen to  
those two CDs more often than any others I have for all kinds of good reasons in  
addition to the good reason of Turk.  Love the whole group, the  
Yankee-Murphy vocals, John Gill, Bob Schulz or Leon Oakley, Bob Helm, Pete  Clute, Bill 
Carroll.
 
Any thoughts or suggestions on who list mates think compare most  directly 
today as a total band?  I already know I still love hearing Bob  Schulz and John 
Gill.  By the way, I learned recently that John Gill has  been attending 
Austin Banjo Band, being one of the guys, and they are loving  it.

The  recent thread on Turk Murphy has led me to listen to his 
music a lot more.  I really like his ensembles; he plays with a 
lot of punch. Was he inspired  by Kid Ory? The style sounds 
similar. I really haven't heard enough of him  to really say. I 
bought the Turk Murphy favorites Vols 1 & 2. I really  like how 
he plays "Trombone Rag".
