[Dixielandjazz] Tram [WARNING: SPF validation unavailable]

[Hal Vickery]

If we're talking about early musicians, you have to include Bechet with Armstrong.  I posted Bechet records from the '20s on a Facebook page I run last year, and to my ears he was every bit as inventive as Armstrong.

I repeat (and it's only an opinion, of course): Tram wasn't as fertile or adventurous an improvisor as Bix. If every player had to be a Giant of Jazz, my record collection would be pared down to a few artists, if I could indeed identify the Giants. There's good stuff all around, but it's also useful to exchange ideas about the contributions of many jazz artists.
