I'd like to share my admiration for these guys who play tenor and bari for the dirty dozen brass band. The whole band are fantastic musicians (love the trumpets, too). I suppose they're typical of the funk/soul/blues/jazz players from New orleans ....... The best thing about their music is that they are at it from start to finish, I wasn't sure which category to post a video, so here's an old clip which shows the kind of energy they can generate. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-jYB2bn74hc
If you get a chance, see how they look now..... I think theyve still got it......

.... I think theyve still got it......

They certainly have. I played with them a couple of months back at the Dirty Dozen gig in Islington. Roger is now a PPT endorser. But not Kevin.

Roger Lewis a king on that baritone, but they say he's a Dirty Old Man......
This clip should raise a few issues. Its not the most atmospheric gig but the music is great. He's the perfect poster boy for a politically correct, modern organisation such as yours....

Just had a look at the PPT page, it sounds great ! I'm kind of saving up for a tenor mouthpiece (providing I can sell my Link tone master), and a PPT sounds like what I'm after. Poor old Kev will have to struggle on without one, then .
