Andrew, the second link isn't a lesser version of Farewell Blues
but of course, South Rampart Street Parade. Can you find and link
the other F.B.?

<div class="">A couple of out list-mates pointed to the wildly
different views of the Dukes in their early years of fame on
AudioFidelity. And wow, were they right! People of good will and
weighty credentials can disagree with honesty. But on a ten-mile
continuum from your "masterpiece" assessment to Frank Assunto's own
description of faux-jazz created to humor Sid Frey ("We created a
monster"), I lean to Frank's side of the argument. We could trade
fours with reasoned discussions to support our views, but that
would be exhausting and at best we'd probably move a few yards
toward the center. </div>

Your short bio caught my eye because of your mention of the
Dukes. Although I began listening to Turk, et al, in the mid
1950s, I soon got interested in the Dukes. Something, by the
way, that is not always accepted as being a good thing in Jazz
circles, and even on this list. To this day, I maintain that,
even though they became a a success (for some reason that is not
acceptable!), they did play some hot jazz. I heard them in a
casino lounge in Las Vegas in about 1963. A basically empty
room, and they played as though it were a full house! A
lesson that I have carried with me through my whole musical
life. Hats off to the Dukes! (Now I'll duck in case of
flying objects!!)<br class="">

<div dir="auto" class=""><span class="">Oh, I continued to listen
to Turk, and many, many others, but was drawn to the Dukes possibly
because my trombone style was closer to the style of the
Dukes. <br class="">
