Jazz / Dixieland, New Orleans Jazz Revival
Ben Smith Trombone
Charlie Brent Saxophone, Guitar
Earl Bonie Clarinet
Everett Link Bass
Luther Kent Vocals
Mike Fulton Trumpet
The 2002 version of the Dukes of Dixieland is one of the strongest since the death of Frank and Fred Assunto in the 1970s. The band has the potential to break out any time with forceful and exciting dixieland and the group's soloists, particularly clarinetist Earl Bonie, trombonist Ben Smith and trumpeter Mike Fulton, are excellent. This particular outing is a bit of a mixed bag. All of the songs are supposedly either written by New Orleans performers or made famous by players from the Crescent City, although it is difficult to put Fats Waller's "Latch On" in that category. Luther Kent takes several good-time vocals, usually on the more r&b-oriented pieces. The Dukes switch comfortably between new orleans r&b and hot jazz so this is not a set for dixieland purists. However there are plenty of hot moments along the way with the highlights including "Dukes Stomp," "Somebody Stole My Gal," an inventive reworking of "Snake Rag" and "Ory's Creole Trombone." ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Dukes of Dixieland
Active Decades: '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: 1948
Died: 1974
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Dixieland, New Orleans Jazz Revival
Trumpeter Frank Assunto (who was also a fine singer) and his brother/trombonist Fred Assunto formed the Dukes of Dixieland in 1948 and won a Horace Heidt talent contest. In 1950, they started a long engagement at the Famous Door in New Orleans. An early member of the group was clarinetist Pete Fountain and the Assunto's father, Papa Jac, joined the band in 1955 on banjo and second trombone. The group's first recordings were for Band Wagon in 1951 and Fountain appeared on their 1955 Vik date, but the Dukes really caught on with a dozen albums cut for Audio Fidelity during 1956-1960. During this period, the Dukes also recorded twice with Louis Armstrong. The band hit its peak with their Columbia records of 1961-1964 (featuring clarinetist Jerry Fuller), particularly an exciting set recorded at Disneyland. Their Decca and Coral dates of 1965-1966, although of some interest, are a step down in quality. Both Fred (1966) and Frank (1974) died of cancer. In the late '70s, a new Dukes of Dixieland was formed but this group is somewhat corny and inferior in quality, having no real connection to the original band.
