About this episode

Trumpeter Scobey did his apprenticeship with the Yerba Buena band, playing second to Lu Waters. By the late 1940's he was itching to start his own group and these 1950-53 recordings for Good Time Jazz show the first flowering of his vision of Traditional Jazz. With Jack Buck, Wally Rose, Burt Bales, Dick Lammi, George Probert and special guests Darnell Howard and Albert Nicholas, the band also served as a backdrop for the singing and banjo playing of Clancy Hayes
