It is with sadness that I report the passing of Paul Meymaris, whose clarinet playing was always spot-on, and who was also a great dentist. Paul treated a number of famous musicians, including Edmond Hall, whose clarinet style can be heard in Paul’s own playing. I have a lot more tape in the vault, so you’ll be able to continue enjoying Paul’s work for a long time — he was a good friend, and he’ll be missed!

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!
