To hear some "quite Traditional" and more modern Dixie TONIGHT, tune into NPR FM Radio at 9 PM CST, for an hour of fine playing "From the Landing" at San Antonio's Riverwalk. Having enjoyed several hours of their "style" a few weeks ago, I heard Jim C on cornet set the tune, with fine cl playing by Ron Hockett [on Selmers] and other improv on "old standards" etc, and have listened to a variety of other tunes, with guests at times, on Radio nearly every Fri eve since. There is available a Zep Meissner set [8] of familiar Dixieland tunes which I enjoy playing in small groups, which would give you a good look at different harmonizations, with a 4 front line [tenor sax added] and, I'm sure, many more written-out arrangements by well known musicians. Ad-libbing [even my minor attempts] is much fun. Don
Thanx, Mark, Don
