[Dixielandjazz] Whadya mean, you can't hear it??

[Hal Vickery]

Okay, now you've got me questioning what I'm listening to.  I don't hear the
cuss words, I'm not hearing Bix's tone.... 

Seriously though, I'm not talking about intonation.  I'm talking about how
in his solo his tone sounds thin or "pinched," not big and fat as it does in
his earlier work.  Is he playing into a derby (as he did in many of his late
recordings) and I'm not catching it?  I've always assumed he's playing an
open horn on this one.

Geez hal, I don't know what you are listening to, but Bix's tone is great on
the recording.

Like you, I love the solo.  Fremans & BG's aint bad neither.
