Dukes of Dixieland with Louis Armstrong.

Post by fairweathertuba »

This tuba player is really really good, if you listen all the way through he takes a funky solo. Who is it? Rich Matteson maybe, or perhaps the guy who later played in Blood Sweat and Tears, whose name eludes me at the moment.

This whole album is great! Louis seems to ratchet the Dukes up a couple of notches somehow.

There is some of controversy about the membership of Dukes of Dixieland - but the on-line Louis Armstrong discography lists Lowell Miller on bass and tuba for the 1959 sessions and Rich Matteson on bass and Helicon for the 1960 sessions that included "Sweet Georgia Brown."
