[Dixielandjazz] Anachronic Jazz Band videos

[Gary Kiser]

Hi All,

Perhaps I've been in a cave, but I just found Anachronic Jazz Band 
videos on YouTube that have been there for two years.  If this is the 
first time you see these, I'm sorry it took so long.  If you've seen 
these before, shame on you for not sharing.

Once over lightly for new comers, the AJB is a group of top trad and 
swing musicians that formed a group playing bop era tunes as if it were 
the 20s/30s.  They only existed a couple of years.  Too bad.

What I present here are videos of the Anachronic Jazz Band at La Grande 
Parade du Jazz in Nice, France on July 16, 1977.  For those of you that 
have jazzed in Europe, you will know a bunch of these guys.  BUT IN 1977.

Patrick Artero on trumpet.  Patrick is still a much in demand player.

Daniel Barda on trombone.  Many of you know him in the States with 
Watergate 7 and Paris Washboard.

Daniel Huck on alto sax.  Daniel is the monster.  I get to play with him 
a couple of times a year.  What a treat.  We had a great quartet (1 gig) 
sometime back with Daniel, Eddie Erickson, Sue Kroninger and yours 
truly.  And, when Allan Vaché came over to play with Sac à Pulses, 
Daniel asked him to sit in on a set.  WOW.

Marc Richard on clarinet.  The leader of this group and many great 
groups over the years.  His latest group is a Lunceford style big band 
called the Paris Swing Orchestra.  Sac à Pulses' Pierre Guicquéro plays 
trombone in PSO.

André Villéger on reeds.  Also still active.  But, I understand he only 
plays big gigs.

Philippe Baudoin on piano.  Philippe wrote those great French chord 
books with all the boxes.  Really great books.

Patrick Diaz on banjo.  I see Patrick less these days, but he still gets 
around.

Gérard Gervois on tuba.  Gérard is great and playing as always.  Bob 
Rann first introduced me to Gérard back in the early 90s.

Bernard Laye on drums.  To be honest, I don't know much about him.

Göran Eriksson on recorder.  Yes, recorder.  He plays one tune, Yardbird 
Suite, and he plays it quite well.  Many have discussed his solo on the 
vinyls.

The times are indicated at the beginning of most clips, so I tried to 
construct the concert in order.  There is no time indicated for Round 
Midnight, so I put it first so you can watch my man Daniel Huck sing and 
scat in 1977.
