[Dixielandjazz] Jack Fine

[Bert Brandsma]

My wife Selena and I played a couple of times with Jack Fine in 2004 when we in fact were having our honeymoon in New Orleans.He was so nice to Selena and played so impressive.Jack also wanted to hire us for a gig in Algiers during Halloween, but we couldn't make it since we were allready booked that evening to play with the Storyville Stompers.
One of the nicest things he said and I remember so well are the words :
"Man, I've played with Jack Teagarden and with J.C. Higginbottom, but that girl (Selena) knows how to play the trombone!"
And he didn't say it in private, but to the audience in a way that he really felt it that way.
If anyone is able to speak to him soon, please give her warm greetings from Selena and Bert Brandsma, or the Dutch guys as most people in N.O. called us then.
Kind regards,
Bert Brandsmawww.dixielandcrackerjacks.com
