[Dixielandjazz] New Black Eagles to celebrate 40th Anniversary-- Lew Shaw

[Marek Boym]

Thank you, Norman.
Tony Pringle must be the most original and the most easily
recognizable cornet/trumpet player around!
Not the greatest technician, not the most sophisticated - but one
hears just a few sounds and knows it's Tony!
Cheers
