Special edition: Jack Webb Jazz Band, 5/6/2000 Part I (remixed)

This program features the Jack Webb Jazz Band of Flagstaff, Arizona, in a set from May 6th, 2000 at Joe’s Place in downtown Flagstaff.  The musicians are Prof. Guy Senese (cornet), John Sexton (trombone), Dominic Lalli (reeds), myself John Kafalas on tuba, and Frankie on drums — I’m afraid I don’t know Frankie’s last name, but he was an excellent drummer, as you’ll hear.   Playing without a chord instrument, the band took on more of the sound of a New Orleans street band than a typical trad jazz group.  The selections are “Wabash Blues,” “Didn’t He Ramble,” and “Apex Blues.” Some of the material appeared in an earlier program in this series, but this edition was converted with the Apogee Duet digital audio converter, which yields much better sound quality, so I think it’s worth revisiting.
