[Dixielandjazz] Tuba vs, String Bass

[J. D. Bryce]

I'm all in favor of bass sax.  I've got a Buescher bass from 1922 and I'm
dying to use it in a good trad band. I've been using it in a string band.
The tunes are much the same but the drive isn't and there's no soloing!

Anybody in New Jersey looking for a hot bass sax?
