Bourbon Street All-Star Dixielanders- Jam Session on Bourbon street

This was $1.  Probably got it because it was cheap.  It is hard to state with a degree of accuracy why I purchased something two years ago.  Going to need to buy a new mouse if I am ever to return to a semi lengthy post. Anyway, here is this, from a group calling themselves the Bourbon Street All-Star Dixielanders.  This is apparently the third volume in the Dixieland Festival series with at least a fourth volume following it.

Here is this record on the Vik label.  Recorded at the Parisian Room in New Orleans on June 12 1956, this record features some dixieland jazz standard performed by a who’s who of dixie land jazz at the time.

The lineup, in order of solos are group leader George Girard on trumpet, Harry Shields on clarinet, Jack Delaney on trombone, Lester Bouchon on tenor sax, Tony Almerico on 2nd trumpet, Pete Fountain on 2nd clarinet, and Santo Pecora on 2nd trombone.  Roy Zimmerman handled the piano.  Phil Darois handled the bass.  Frank Federico took guitar duties which are scant on this record.  Finally, the drums are covered by Roger Johnston and Paul Edwards.  The announcer at the Parisian Room, Pinky Vidacovich handled MC duties.

Other than that, what more can I say?  I am simply putting a paragraph here for some symmetry.

Here for a sample is “With You Anywhere You Are”.

Decent record, especially for the price.  I mean, it sounds like you would expect.  Satisfactory
