St Louis Blues - Portena Jazz Band

Tito Martino from Brazil speaks to leader Marin Muller and introduces the St Louis Blues.
Tito became a youtube friend and we then found out we had met and played together at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in 1975. Tito plays clarinet and is leader of his Original Traditional Jazz Band.
He wrote me about leader Martin Muller:
“Martin Muller in particular became more than a friend, a soul brother, and we met several times in Brazil, Argentina and Europe ( when I organized the 1990 tour for Portena in Swiss and Germany) He was a superior kind of human being, intelligent, cultivated, educated, a real gentleman; and above all, a great cornet player, bandleader and arranger, and promotor of Traditional Jazz. I was deeply affected and shocked when he passed away the lst 16 july. You know how we Brazilians and especially Argentinians are emotional and warm hearted”
