[Dixielandjazz] :Pete Kelly's Blues

[Randy Fendrick]

Mark-There is an album which was probably the sound track that was narrated by Jack Webb with Matty Matlock.  On the band is Matty Matlock, clarinet, Dick Cathcart, trpt; Moe Schneider, trombone; Eddie Miller, tenor sax; Nick Fatool drumsl George Van Eps guitar; Ray Sherman Piano and Jud DeNaut bass. Hope this helps,
later,
