[Dixielandjazz] Dixielandjazz Digest, Vol 156, Issue 3

And don't forget Steamboat Willie at Cafe Begniet right across from the Royal Sonnesta on Bourbon where the statues are - plays 6-11 almost every night - sit ins welcome. Tell him John from Wi says hello. (toured with him in Europe twice) Also - years ago Wild Bill came and sat in with us in Milwaukee at at the Red Mill.(we were there 11 years)  He was in  his usual crusty demeanor. After a few standard tunes he asked us for Tishomingo Blues - so we said sure and counted it off - after 2 measures or so we knew something was amiss key wise - we were in Ab (what did we know? Always played it there) and Bill (who was right of course) was not real happy as he got on the mike and exclaimed "What the hell key are you are you ass holes playing in?!!! It's in G if you can handle it"  or words to that effect. Needless to say our musical stock with our customers took a short dive - but we started over in G and got through all right and have been playing it there ever since. While I'm on Tishomingo  I have to say it bothers me no end what Garrison Keillor does with it as the theme on Prairie Home Companion. He only does the 2nd half of the tune - drives me nuts. One other note on playing at the Red Mill - Pete Barbutti (an amazing musician and comic and a great guy) would come in once a year for a convention and then stop in to sit in with us. ( We were the North Water St Tavern Band back then and now are the New South Rampart St Paraders - check us out on Facebook - we have done the Sacramento Jubilee a few times where we really got to know Pete) ) Anyway Pete would come in and sit with the customers unannounced and ask if he could play our intermissions on the grand piano in the club. And he would  - and do great ballads and and standards and some swing tunes until we came back on. The people had no idea who he was and he never let us introduce him - he was just a guy playing for enjoyment - no comedy no schtick - nothing but great music. You can still see him on YouTube  - one of the greatest for sure. John Knurr (I was one of the original members of SJTS when I lived in Sacramento)

?Wondering if this rings a memory bell with someone--

Many years ago I think I read the following----

Will Bill Davison was at the same venue as was the
George Lewis band.  Will Bill was not a fan of the
old style New Orleans manner of playing but reluctantly
agreed to play a tune when called upon.

When he returned to his table he was heard to say
that he really enjoyed playing with such a powerhouse
rhythm section.  (I don't know the exact quote).

Can anyone cite a reference that could confirm that
this actually happened?

There are quite a few really good spots on Frenchmen Street, just outside
of the French Quarter - Spotted Cat is usually the place to start, but
d.b.a. and Apple Barrel have good stuff. Here is a full list of clubs and
such for that area and further out that way:
http://www.neworleansonline.com/tools/neighborhoods/marigny/nightlife.html
(this listing includes resturaunts that don't have live music , but you can
search by neighborhood. )

Also, if you have the time to get to the area around Oak & Carrollton there
is usually a few good acts at the Maple Leaf and other bar/clubs in that
neighborhood.

In the French Quarter, Fritzel's, Palm Court, and also check the Royal
Street area during the day for street musicians.

Check the events calendar at WWOZ (
http://www.wwoz.org/new-orleans-community/livewire-music-calendar ) for
just about everything up to date, Offbeat magazine and the oher free weekly
newspaperd the more.

While waiting for that answer, is the source for the following anecdote in DJML?  I honestly don't remember where I heard it or read it, but it was from a reliable source.

Once Wild Bill was sitting in with a Frisco-style trad band and upon hearing the title "Big Bear Stomp", loudly said "What the hell's that?!"

Ringwald?  Keeler?  Was it one of you?

In 1984, I heard the Oz clarinattist jack McLaughlin in Bude, but have
never heard of him since.  Pretty good New Orleans style player, with a
very woody tone.

Hey David, you'll find a lot of trad jazz, mostly younger groups, playing in the clubs like the Spotted Cat along Frenchmen's Street.  And usually a couple of street bands along Royal----Doreen Ketchens is often there as is Tuba Skinny.

The Palm Court usually has quality groups.

But there are only two Bourbon Street clubs left playing trad jazz.  One is the Maison Bourbon and the other, which I definitely recommend, is Fritzel's.  It's loud and you're packed in tight but some very, very good players are in there 7 nights a week----Richard Scott, Tom Fischer, Gerald French, Tom McDermott, Charlie Fardella, Chuck Brackman, sometimes Tim Laughlin (or you may catch him at the Palm Court).

I'm sure list members will have other suggestions too.  Have a great trip!

I sat in with Preservation Hall Band (at their home club) back around 1985,
did a couple of tunes and I thought it went OK.

The the banjo player leaned over and said - "You West Coast guys learn all
the wrong chords!"

  All the suggestions below sound good to me. Better info that I have since I on longer live there. To see the up-to-the-date listings, the week before you go to N.O. ask for a copy of the very thorough listings of OFFBEAT weekly at  janramsey at offbeat.com <mailto:janramsey at offbeat.com>
