[Dixielandjazz] RIP Bert Barr

[Marek Boym]

Sad news indeed.
I have never heard the Uptown Lowdown Jazz Band in person, but I have
several recordings, including those with three bass saxophones (the big
horn is among my favourite instruments).
I got my first Uptown Lowdown from GHB ages ago, and then added several
more because the band was so good!
Blessed be Bert's memory,
Marek
