[Dixielandjazz] Acoustic music.

[Randy Fendrick]

Several years ago, I was in Reno and saw a quintet in a hotel of  
Trumpet, Trombone, Clarinet, Bass and Guitar all w/o amps playing in a  
hallway.  Great sound.  I have used the same combination many times.   
Works great, sometimes the guitar player will use a small battery  
powered amp which also works great!  Key to guitar player, TURN THE  
AMP DOWN!
