[Dixielandjazz] Clyde Hurley

[Hal Vickery]

Don, I think you're thinking of "A String of Pearls."  Hackett was the soloist on the recording of that under the circumstances you mentioned.

She phones me up and says that she has discovered another player who, to her at least, has a quality to his playing that sounds amazingly like Braff. I listened to the recording over the phone and, myself being a Braff fan, think I'd have to largely agree with her.
