[Dixielandjazz] Joe Barber

[Joe Carbery]

Does anyone in the list have any information about a tenor player named Joe
Barber? I have 5 CD tracks by the KXYZ Novelty Band recorded in San Antonio,
Texas, on 29th January 1935 on which he plays. In spite of its title, the
band is far from a novelty ensemble. It is a hot jazz sextet (tpt, tnr, pno,
gtr, bs, dms). I particulary like Barber's booting, driving playing on "I've
Found a New Baby." Shades of Bud Freeman and Pee Wee on tenor with the
Rhythmakers, but still with his own distinctive style.

Joe Carbery.
