Re: "Second Line" performed by "Sharkey Bonano & His of Dixieland"

Ned,

Thank you so much for the direction. I didn't quite find what I was looking for yet, but your help has inched me closer and closer. One reason I am trying to find the player on this specific albumn, is due to the fact that the player sounds so remarkably close to a young Pete Fountain...well sorta. The sound is identical to Pete's early years for eight bars or so, and then sounds totally different for three or four bars, then straight back to sounding like Pete again for a few. It's driving me crazy! The style is all Pete, yet the technique doesn't quite fit in places.

However, you gentle nudging to other sources (using different search criteria) has led me to the following link:

http://louisdl.louislibraries.org/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/JAZ&CISOPTR=2546&CISOBOX=1&REC=3

Which provides a picture of the Assunto brothers, Pete Fountain, and Sharkey Bonano! So while I still can't prove/disprove that Pete is the one I hear playing on this album - at least I know that they did perform together at one time! That's a start!!

Thanks again for your help - I really do appreciate it!! I'm still open to any further help offered my way, and I'll be sure to post any progress I make.

Thanks,
Fuzzy
