[Dixielandjazz] Sal Pace Recordings

[Stephen G Barbone]

Marek wrote about a recording with clarinetist Sal Pace.

Dear Marek:

I know that Sal Pace recorded with Erwin on the Cadence label as  
follows.

CLP -1011 - Pee Wee Erwin at the Grandview Inn - 1956. Also on that  
album were Andy Russo TB; Billy Maxted PNO;
Charlie Traeger DBL BS; Tony Spargo DMS. Songs were Peter and The  
Wolf, Big Nkloise From Winnetka, Whistler and His Dog, Tea For Two,  
Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, After You've Gone, Little Rock Getaway,  
American Patrol

He is also on these:

CLP -1012 - Jazz At Nick's - Billy Maxted and his Manhattan Jazz Band  
- Maxted plus Pace;  Chuck Forsyth TP; Lee Gifford TB;  Charlie  
Traeger DBL BS; Sonny Igoe DMS. Washington and Lee Swing, Ja Da,  
Panama, Swinging Rose of Texas, Satanic Blues, Battle Hymn of the  
Republic, Just Hot.

CLP -1013 - Dixieland Manhattan Style - Billy Maxted and I think, same  
personnel as above. - At The Jazz Band Ball, Basin Sttreet Blues,  
Crash From China, Muskrat Ramble, I've Found a New Baby, Yankee Doodle  
Dixie, Black and Blue, Hindustan.

 From that Erwin album, Charlie Traeger is still alive, retired in the  
Catskill Mountains of NY State.  From the Maxted albums, does anyone  
know what ever happened to Lee Gifford? He was one hell of a trombone  
player. The year before Nick's folded, I worked some gigs with him and  
Traeger. Just talked with Traeger recently and he doesn't know what  
happen to, or where Gifford went after 1963 or so either.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
