[Dixielandjazz] Barrelhouse Jazz Band

[Artwoo at aol.com]

Yes, I am aware of the German band. Fortunately for them, we are no  
competition and remain a local band in the San Francisco bay area. The  Barrelhouse 
Jazz Band of Oakland, Ca has been in existence for 36 yrs. It was  co-founded by 
Rev Chuck McClain, vocals and tbone, who passed away in  2006.
 
The remaining founding member is our esteemed reed player, Al  Flood.
 
Regards,

Hello  Art,
Did you know that there is a German band under the name  "Barrelhouse
Jazz Band?"  With Reimer von Essen on reeds, it has long  been among
the very best in the business anywhere in the world!  And  Reimer von
Essen is among the best clarinet players (he plays the alto sax  as
well, and perhaps other saxes, too).

The band visited Israel  twice.  Strangely enough, the first time it
was more of a swing band,  the second -  traditional.

Regards
