Jimmy Mazzy & Friends

This program was recorded June 29th, 1988 and features Jimmy Mazzy (banjo/vocals), Carol Moeller (piano), Fred Lind (cornet), Paul Meymaris (clarinet), John Kafalas (trombone), Stu Grover (drums) and I’m not quite certain, but I think Steve Pratt is on bass.  The selections are Carol’s original “Early Black,” followed by “Moose March” and “WPA Blues.”

This podcast departs from our regular programming to present some rare recordings by Tommy Turk, a trombonist who was one of the best but who has faded into relative obscurity.  I don’t know the other musicians on these recordings, nor do I know where they were made, but I think they are from 1949.  If you have any additional information, please let me know!
