Dave Hanson and I have been trying to put together the story of Tommy Turk
whose name crops up here from time to time.
A google search revealed:
1. that the ITA Journal had an article about him in their Volume 10, Issue
1;
2. Jim Beebe replied to Dave Hanson's question about Tommy in the DJML
(Dixieland Jazz Mail List) archives and was highly appreciative of Turk's
playing;
3. http://tinyurl.com/3banzs is an old discussion of Tommy on the trombone
list;
4. http://tinyurl.com/38fq9w is a page of a book by David Levine in which he
discusses meeting Tommy in Las Vegas and the circumstances of his murder;
5. two photos of Tommy Turk have been downloaded from the internet. On one,
Dave Hanson noticed that Tommy was playing a valve trombone and there was a
trumpet on a stand nearby. The other shows Tommy with the Dorsey brothers,
Jack Teagarden, Buddy Rich and others. If anyone wishes copies, let me know.
I need help from someone on the list. Can anyone tell me how to get a copy
of the ITA Journal article above?
Thanks;
Stan
