[Dixielandjazz] a few videos from Madrid

[Jim Kashishian]

I do one chorus of the words from Bourbon Street Parade & another chorus of Bill Bailey on Tiger Rag. We never actually play either of those songs. No reason, just don't.

On another note, we recently began to play Benny Goodman's "A Smooth One", but a slightly slower mood. A really good tune. Fluglehorn and trombone in unison, breaking out in harmonies on the bridge.
