Chosen Few Brass Band
I didn't get the lineup for this band.
The set was a tribute to Anthony "Tuba Fats" Lacen, who had died
within the past year. Tuba Fats was a stalwart in the brass band scene.
Ronnie Magri and His New Orleans Jazz Band
Ronnie Magri drums; Duke Heitger trumpet; ? Engledorf tenor sax; Evan
Christopher clarinet; Jesse Boyd bass; Tom McDermott piano
This band got its start as the pit orchestra for a burlesque show.
Dr. Michael White and the Original Liberty Jazz Band featuring
Thais Clark and special guest Nicholas Payton
Dr. Michael White clarinet; Gregg Stafford trumpet; Nicholas Payton
trumpet; Fred Lonzo trombone; Detroit Brooks banjo; David Bodinghouse
piano; Cary Lewis bass - tuba; Marvin Lebeau drums; Thais Clark vocal
Dr. Michael White is a professor of both music and Spanish at
Xavier University.
The Pfister Sisters
I didn't get most of the lineup for this group.
The Pfister Sisters replicate the sound of the Boswell Sisters, a
close harmony group from the thirties that preceded the Andrews Sisters
(and were better than the Andrews Sisters, in my opinion). I own
many of the original Boswell Sisters records and to my ear the Pfister
Sisters sound very much like them.
Preservation Hall Jazz Band
