[Dixielandjazz] Name That Song! Episode 16

[Don Robertson]

Yeah Dan,

I go back even further,  I found the Pizza Palace and the South Frisco 
band in 1966, but that was before Papa Ray.  I soon moved to San Jose 
and  never got to hear him, but have a few recordings.

Ray played on occasion with an early edition of Vince Saunders's South Frisco Jazz Band. Ray plays something like Freddie Keppard, and perhaps a little more like Mutt Carey ("Papa Mutt"), who of course played and recorded with Kid Ory's band in the '20s and '40s. Of course, Ray has his own individual "thing" in his playing, too! Sings great, as well; especially the blues.
