[Dixielandjazz] Mauro Ottolini

[Jim Kashishian]

Mauro Ottolini is a new name to me, also.....from Italy, and seems to
perform mainly in Italy in all kinds of different formats of
bands/orchestras.  He is first and foremost, it would seem, to be a
trombonist.  If you go to his home page, which is unfortunately in Italian
only, you will hear a very, very nice rendition of New Orleans:

Here you can hear some unusual sousaphone playing:

And, here The Mooche is played in a very different mode:

There are plenty of youtube videos of further examples.
