[Dixielandjazz] Featherstonehaugh

[Marek Boym]

Hello Pat,
The only one of the above I have seen is Harry Gold, and he was playing
tenor rather than bass...  At least, he had Roy crimmins with him.
I agree that the Squadronnaires were a terrific band, with good soloists.
And I love Harry Parry, although I;e only heard recordings.
Cheers
