[Dixielandjazz] The Saints of Bleecker Street

[Stephen G Barbone]

The below quote may shed some light on The Saints of Bleecker Street:

"There seems to be some mislaid credit for the recording of  
“Washington Square.” Joe Sherman used leading studio musicians for the  
recording, but they did not receive credit. Mr. Goldsteinn recalls  
two: Bucky Pizzarelli and Doc Goldberg. The group listed in the  
Whitburn books and mentioned in my February post were assembled by  
Duke Niles for a tour. Mr. Goldsteinn wanted to call the act the  
Saints of Bleecker Street, but Village Stompers prevailed. At least  
part of the touring group had worked as Frank Hubbell and the Hubcaps,  
and as the Village Stompers they recorded eight albums for Epic. In my  
original post I said they had recorded “a pair of albums.” That irks  
me, because I lost control of a fact I knew. Sorry about that."
