Here is how the Turk Murphy Jazz Band sounded in 1953, while the group played at “The Village.” Personnel are: Bob Helm, clarinet, Turk Murphy, trombone; Wally Rose, piano; Dick Lammi, banjo; Bob Short, tuba. RealAudio is required to hear “Take Me to the Land of Jazz,” with vocal by Turk, and a wonderful piano solo by Wally Rose.
Turk Murphy (1915-1987) was one of the giants of jazz in the San Francisco area, beginning with his tenure in the Lu Watters Yerba Buena Jazz Band and continuing with his own band in the late 1940’s through the years that followed until the time of this festival recording and, of course, beyond.
Turk's passion for the preservation and promotion of traditional New Orleans jazz is represented by the meticulous records, recordings, scores, and research that he pursued relentlessly till his death of cancer on May 30, 1987 in San Francisco.
