[Dixielandjazz] Plunger and Al Grey

[Stephen G Barbone]

Another trombonist who used the plunger to good effect was Al Grey. I  
met him when I was in Law School and he had some trouble with the IRS.  
He'd hired a friend of mine, an accountant, to help him with some  
income tax problems.  Hear some of his plunger work on "I Can't Get  
Started" at:

or with Count Basie on "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" at:
