Audio Tapes – An Interview of Jimmy McPartland

Audio Tapes – An Interview of Jimmy McPartland

Richard “Dixie Dick” Kammeier had a traditional jazz program -Dixieland Brunch- on Tampa’s community radio station, WMNF. On February 3, 1982, Dick interviewed Jimmy McPartland. A few months ago, Dick sent my a tape of the program. I uploaded two excerpts from the program.
1. Jimmy tells about Bix buying him (Jimmy) a cornet.
2. Jimmy tells about his recording of “In A Mist” for his “Shades of Bix Album.” The recording follows the interview.

I am grateful to Dick for his gift of the tape of the program.
