[Dixielandjazz] Capone's Article (Marek Boym)

[Maurice Walker]

>>Many years ago, Jazzology issued an LP "The Al Capone Memorial Jazz Band,"actually a Dick Gibson band.  A friend of mine always plays it at his jazzevenings to commemorate Al Capone's anniversary.<< Actually actually, that band was led by Don Gibson.  He was a piano player with ties at various times to Los Angeles, Chicago (hence the Al Capone link), Denver (where I worked with him), and Portland.   Dick Gibson was a major jazz fan and the person responsible for the annual jazz party in Colorado Springs for years and years.  We have lost both of them now.  Maurie Walker
