[Dixielandjazz] Trombone Showmanship

[Shaw, Tim]

Marek, 
If they were into it for the music, they'd be trying to play it themselves or going to a Bach recital
Music doesn't have to be memorable, just functional
I you happen to be lucky enough to hear someone like (eg) the late Bobby Hackett  play functional music, and could appreciate it, good for you!
King Oliver's band played functional music, including waltze s (it's a pity they didn't record any ... would have been interesting to hear, considering the vast difference between KOJB and other bands rendition of current "hit"   tunes like "Buddys Habit". I doubt most of the audience of the time would have appreciated the difference,
cheers
tim

Will the tricks make the audience remember the music?
I rather doubt it.
Cheers
