[Dixielandjazz] Looking for "best of Turk" tracks

[Paul Kurtz Jr]

At the risk of being in the minority, I don’t see anything wrong with his tone for what he was doing. Also, I’m guessing he did a lot of outside playing early in life because he had tremendous projection. 

I’d like to know what type of trombone he played and a bit about its bore size because he seemed to be playing a lighter one with great movement. In any case, I enjoyed the piece.
