<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello Jim, <br></div><div>I heard Mulligan playing Dixieland on clarinet borrowed from Tony Scott. That was at a jam session in Nice in 1976. Doc Cheatham and some other veterans were playing and swinging like mad. Mulligan decided to join the party and in a few minutes swayed the style to 4-beat Dixieland, thus proving what he declared - "I am a Dixielander at heart." The jam session ended at 4 AM, or rather, I left at 4AM when all the traditional musicians were gradually replaced by youngsters who couldn't really play.</div><div>BTW, the French waiters were astonishing - they walked between peoples' legs (the place was crowded and we were sitting on the floor), holding the trays above their heads, and remembered what everybody ordered!</div><div>Cheers<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, 8 Oct 2020 at 20:25, <<a href="mailto:jim@kashprod.com">jim@kashprod.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" lang="ES"><div class="gmail-m_1774874151068500358WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">After my last post to DJML, I was thinking it might be fun to put up this video from YouTube to show the class of people I was fortunate enough to have played with in the late 1960’s in Madrid, when the club I played at nitely had something as sinister as jazz was behind an unmarked door…..during the time of Franco!. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I mentioned earlier that the drummer seemed to be able to pull the band back together when the few times we wandered into a “free” period. The drummer then was Enrique Llacer, known by the name of Regolí. You will be able to see here that he is an accomplished percussionist (his daytime job was percussionist with the Spanish National Orchestra), and plays on this recording drums and other percussion, along with vibraphone, xylophone, and the marimba.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Regolí played with our band, Canal Street Jazz Band all during the 1970’s, and then introduced us to one of his students who took over his job with the band for another 20 yrs before passing his position off to one of HIS students, who is now our current drummer since the year 2000.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Anyway, enjoy this version Fascinating Rhythm with Regolí: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmzMSM6z36Q" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmzMSM6z36Q</a><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Jim<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">p.s.
