[Dixielandjazz] Mick Pyne and Stan Greig

[Steve Voce]

Absolutely right. I stand corrected. I was mixed up over Stan's two 
stays with the band.

Mick was one of the finest jazz pianists, ranking with the American 
greats. He was equally accomplished at stride, bop and at playing 
exquisite mainstream cornet. His brother Chris was one of our best 
trombonists.
