hey Andy, this is the post i made a while ago about Duke (in Landing #30,
check the archives sometime!) :)

<<here's some dirt on Duke Heitger:

http://www.geocities.com/BourbonStreet/5135/hothorns.JPG
(Picture, he's in the middle)

Jim on Duke, taken from the official Mammoth page (via Matt's page):
Mathus recalls, "The Duke guy came in cold. He listened to the songs and
just digested them. It as amazing, second nature to him, first nature
                   really. We gave him a little whiskey, and he got laid
back, and blew out about one song an hour. He's the best musician we've
ever seen."

You can also go to www.allmusic.com and find out what recordings, other
than HOT, he's been on. just do a search for his name. 

A couple of CD reviews hail him as a trumpet god! Hmm...do ya think the
Zips just "settled" for lil' ol Je?

Hey Jess...
D'ya think you can ask Tom a question or two about how he felt concerning the 
direction Zipper music was taking?  It seems that his solo album is a 
throwback to old-er school Zippers... more arcane, more mysterious, more of 
what we would expect in a period between THE INEVITABLE and HOT.  
Lemme know
Phil

I believe the photo of the man blowing the horn opposite the photo of
Andrew Bird toward the back of the "HOT" CD booklet is Duke Heitger.
Duke appeared this past Saturday on A Prairie Home Companion on NPR.
I believe he played the whole show with the house band, but I'm not certain.
I didn't know ahead of time, or I would have let you guys know.
I just happened to hear the rebroadcast on Sunday.
There is a photo of Duke on their website.
http://phc.mpr.org/performances/19991016/index.shtml
They have a real audio archive of the show, if you want to check it out. 
Check out the tunes "Bandana Days" and "Loving You The Way I Do"
for some good stuff from Duke.
They also have a short bio on Duke. Here it is. Cheers!

Duke Heitger started playing the trumpet professionally at the age of twelve 
with his father's band in Toledo, Ohio. He moved to New Orleans in 1991 to 
work with Jacques Gauthe, and has since played at jazz festivals across the 
U.S., as well as in Europe and New Zealand. He currently leads the Steamboat 
Stompers jazz trio, which plays daily on the steamboat Natchez. With them, 
he released Duke Heitger's Steamboat Stompers. He was featured on the 
Squirrel Nut Zippers' platinum CD Hot, and on recordings with Banu Gibson. 
His new CD, Swing is Our Business (Fantasy), is scheduled for release later 
this year.

>Hey a while back someone posted a url or mentioned an album photo of Duke
Heitger... I know he never played on stage with SNZ so I'm assuming the guy
in the bowler hat in the HOT album photo is Stacy.  Just wondering if Duke
is a young guy or an older guy... he plays like he's been doing it for
several lifetimes.  Awesome.
