*****When I bought them ages ago, I simply listened, enjoyed the music without going into the "sidemen" who made it happen. Now that I'm more aware of how important they are in making the music,******
You nailed it. I feel the same. I am now even more aware of that on the old Motown stuff. A lot of Jazz guys played in the bands backing the popular Motown groups. One reason why it was the pinnacle of POP music.
I used to really "Dig" this guy. I have lots of his stuff on LP. See and hear him differently now.

Did you notice on the Preservation Hall clip, there was no Clarinet or Banjo!! Not a good sign. Esp for a Nawlins based group.
Cheers
