 | Western Swing = western jazz Now that I've moved out west to NM I've discovered Western Swing and it's not just Roy and Dale. I played in New Orleans 30 years and up and down the east coast and never heard this stuff. I just joined the Curio Cowboys in Albuquerque and we did a radio broadcast the other night and part of it was filmed so here is a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVHQYwquZ4U Just curious to know how many other trumpet players are playing this style now or have played it.

| Re: Western Swing = western jazz Hey Brian... Have you checked out Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys? For a while in the 40s, he was using a pretty full horn section. That was a swinging group! Incidentally, "Song of the Wanderer" was recorded in the late thirties by Count Basie with Helen Humes on vocals. Hope you like Mexican food....Albuquerque has got some of the best in the world. -Kevin |

| Re: Western Swing = western jazz Yes, I love Bob Wills and he is the only one I really heard of before I moved out here but now I've discovered Spade Cooley, Tex Williams, Carolina Cotton, Hank Penny as well as contemporary groups like "Lost Weekend' who have 3 horns-cornet, sax, and trombone. I found all this on YouTube and I think these guys are from California. |
