[Dixielandjazz] Brubeck in Oakland

[Stephen G Barbone]

Ed Coltrin couldn't remember the name of the club near Lake Merritt in  
Oakland California where he saw the Brubeck trio in 1947 or so.

Hey Ed, I think it was probably the Burma Lounge. Does that name ring  
a bell?
Clint Eastwood saw him there back then too. Also, back around then,  
maybe a little before, Paul Desmond was still playing clarinet in  
Dixieland Bands.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
