[Dixielandjazz] Specifically for Bob R

[Don Ingle]

*Boy, what a great memory kicker-upper. Jack Wadsworth was a top flight 
bass saxist -- on a par with "Blizzardhead" (Joe Rushton). I heard him 
last at San Diego working with Bob's Great Pacific Band -- a fine band 
with a great Nichols-like book and fine players. \
Last I heard he had gotten otu of the iz and moved to some place over 
the Newhall ridge into the Desert. I am sure Bob R. will bring us up to 
date.
Jack was a tasty player and his rhythm section time was rock solid and 
his solo work exceptional -- and having spent a lot of my life from 
"band brat" to grown up around "Blizzardhead," I no do not give faint 
praise. Thanks for reminding me about this wonderful player.
