[Dixielandjazz] Young Bands

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

Hi Steve,
Yes, I also thought they sounded very New Orleans on "Little Liza Jane",  the 
way they begin "Just A Closer Walk".  Checked their  "Caribbean"--someone 
sent me a 1953 copyrighted tune,  "Caribbean", words & music by Mitchell Torok a 
few months  ago--different tune apparently.
 
I hope the potential of Sick with Barbone Street comes to pass--that'd work  
and a lot of good music would get made.
 
These recent posts pointing out some of these younger bands have refreshed  
my spirit.

Hi  Ginny:

Check out Sugar Tone at:   http://www.sugartonebrass.com/live/

Check out "Little Liza Jane".  Sounds VERY New Orleans

Why Austin? Heck they have 1700 bands  performing at South By Southwest  
(SXSW) every year. Lots of junk  there, but also bands like Asylum  
Street, Sick's Pack and others.  Check out the "friends" of Asylum  
Street and Sick's Pack on their  myspace sites and you come up with a  
bunch of young Austin bands,  some of whom are very good. I think the  
music feeds on itself in any  area where you have activist bands  
performing. To me, Austin sounds  like such a place.

Violinist Sick, from Sick's Pack wrote me yesterday  that he will be in  
NYC with his ukulele playing girl friend in July  and asked if they  
could sit in  with us old boys at some of our  July gigs in Philly. If  
we can put it together I think it would be  great fun.

Cheers
Steve  Barbone
