[Dixielandjazz] Sitting in in Paris...

[Jean Marc Ternois]

You're right, Marek. The Watergate Seven + 1 is a band which began to play
during the 70's. They played at the Sacramento Jazz Festival in 1979, 80
and 81. They went on till the fall of the XXth century and then stopped
playing. In 2008 (if I remember), Michel Marcheteau the founder of that
band decided to re-create it. He asked me to play trombone with the band,
and I said "OK" with great pleasure and it's going on. Hope for a long time
! It's quite difficult to find places to play because we are eight
musicians !. This band plays Lu Watters' music, and it's a great fun !

Meanwhile, we created another band which plays specifically the Turk
Murphy's music
. You can hear his music at  http://www.sanfranciscojazzbandfromparis.com
