Sweet Georgia Brown Dickenson Vic 1978
At one of the Peter Appleyard shows in 1978 or '79 trombonist Vic Dickenson is being featured. He plays a verse of a famous jazztune.
I sat in awe, "where is this going" It eventually became Sweet Georgia Brown.
There is a nice trombone solo by Ian McDougall as well.... and of course don't forget the beautiful sax work by Moe Koffman
I was lucky to meet Mr. Dickenson in the Eddie Condon Club in New York, where he played with Roy Eldridge and the Hungarian born Joe Muranyi. Vic Dickenson is one of the greatest talents of jazz history with fantastic technics and melodic sensitivity. He playes the trombone as Buck Clayton playes the trumpet. I am very proud that we played together the St. Louis Blues and after that he invited me a beer.

Another of the considerable number of jazz greats who deserved more recognition than they got.
"As comfortable as your favorite pair of slippers" is how one writer described Vic Dickenson's trombone work.
