[Dixielandjazz] Do subs de-legitimize a band?

[Louis Lince]

Hi Bert,

I couldn't agree more. My views on the subject have been on DJML before. 
Have a good one tomorrow

best wishes,

Louis



PS I loved the Black And Tan Fantasy you posted with Chris doing the late 
John Slaughtert solo.

Using a sub now and then couldn't be bad.Ben Webster even subbed at a Duke 
Ellington recording session in 1935. Well we know what happened 5 years 
later.
You cannot ask a professional organisation like Ellington's to not play when 
someone is ill.It is simply a business that needs to go on. Every pro 
symphony orchestra uses subs. So why not in Jazz???I subbed with the Chris 
Barber band in March and will do it again tomorrow.Still it definitly will 
be the Chris Barber band!http://youtu.be/VaYW8B4zXugKind regards,Bert
