[Dixielandjazz] Sinclair Traill

[ROBERT R. CALDER]

I note with considerable interest that Ralph Sutton's great fan Rossano Sportiello will be demonstrating his exceptional musical abilities in Scotland at the start of November, amazingly enough beginning in Thurso, further north of which it is impossible to go other than by boat 

Thurso should definitely have had a jazz festival in the heyday of Jazz Journal and its founding editor, Sinclair Traill. 
The main street in the town changes name half-way along.  One half of it is Sinclair Street and the other Traill Street.  

He does a lovely Dave McKenna, does Rossano, and a lot of Tatumism and produces beautifully clear fingerings with a stridemaster's rapid deployment of pink blurs which tend to turn back into fingers once the audience has begun to applaud... 

lovely fellah, he is!
