Orignal Dixieland Jazz Band Reunion 1943...

JOHN CLARK
About this episode

Brad Gowans was better known as a valve trombonist and arranger, but he was an adept clarinetist who was initially inspired by the first jazz records by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band. He brought trombonist Eddie Edwards, pianist Frank Signorelli and drummer/kazoo player Tony Sbarbaro from the original group into the World, Commodore and V Disc studios with contemporary players like Wild Bill Davison, Bobby Hackett, Max Kaminsky, Gene Schroeder, Teddy Roy, Eddie Condon and Bob Casey to recreate some of the original tunes, albeit with a bit more swing.
