He didn’t die until three years later, but I haven’t personally seen that many live video recordings of Fred playing the trombone with this band as late as this recording was made, which was 1963.

Re: live Assuntos Dukes of Dixieland
Hey Joe, thank you for posting that video. It was great to see my Grandfather and Uncles playing up a swinging storm. I didn't realized Jimmy Dean was that tall. I'm surprised that Papa Jac didn't knock him out when he grabbed his horn.
Thank you again Joe for the post!!!

Re: live Assuntos Dukes of Dixieland
I only viewed this on my phone, but I was sort of under the impression that both Jac and Fred played Olds Super trombones, and I’m sort of trying interpreting the video as Jac playing a King...??

Re: live Assuntos Dukes of Dixieland
That does look like a King counter weight. Maybe that's why Papa didn't mind Jimmy grabbing the horn he was playing. As far back as I could remember Papa played Gibson banjos and Olds trombones. I remember on one of his visits to L.A. back in the early 70's he needed a horn and we went to a local music store and picked up a Olds trombone. Thank you again Joe for posting this great video.
