[Dixielandjazz] Trumpet contest in Serbia

[Ron Wheeler]

Apparently, trumpeting is a tradition over there.  Anybody heard of [or
remember] Duško Gojković?  Check out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dusko_Goykovich.  He was playing trumpet and
flugel for Woody Herman in the mid-60's when I saw them.  Also with a bunch
of other big names.  Helluva horn.  Still active in Europe.

I have been following this kind of music for many years - Balkan  
Brass has spread all over the world and there are many bands (many  
are not ethnically "Balkan.) There is a website balkanarama.com/ 
bands.htm that has links to many of them.

While I am not very good at playing it yet, I am starting to figure  
out how the song structures work, and how someone can improvise in  
11/8 time! There is an annual music camp in Mendicino, CA for  
learning more (I have not been there, but I know some people who have  
gone.) http://www.eefc.org has more info on that.
