[Dixielandjazz] Jimmy Durante's Band

[Ron L]

Wow, is that a badly balanced recording.  The Clarinet is too close to the
horn and the cornet is too far away.  You can hardly hear the lead line.

To hear what Durante's Band sounded like in May 1920 go to:

The tune is "Why Cry Blues" and features the clarinet of Achille Baquet. The
record speaks for itself. The band played gigs in NYC during that year.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
