[Dixielandjazz] Battle of Trombones

[Marek Boym]

A great player, Brad Gowans.  I was hoping for a video, though, not just
music.
The valve trombone was not his only horn.  In the 1920's he played both
clarinet and cornet, and made some good recrdings with his Rhapsody Makers
on both instruments.  In 145-46, he played clarinet in Commodore's tribute
to the ODJB.
Cheers
