Dick was a fiery player that had everyone in the jazz scene talking. He 
made Hirt seem like a second chair. Sadly, this Milwaukee player died of 
the Big C all too young in the 1960's, sort of a far too soon thing to 
happen as it was with George Girard in N.O.
He was active about the time I was playing at Jazz Ltd. in Chicago and 
only got to catch him once -- but he knew his horn; and while I prefer a 
more melodic style, he was impossible not to admire.
Not sure of the clarinet player in the clip - it looked a bit like a 
younger Chuck Hedges, and Chuck, also from Milwaukee, did work with 
Reudebusch. The others I could not place but we didn't overlap that much 
with the Milwaukee players in Chicago.
Great to have that clip and thanks for posting it.
