Segal on Banjo
Segal is an accomplished banjo player; he played with a dixieland jazz band while in college at Columbia that had several different names. When he was the one who booked a gig, he would bill the group as "Bruno Lynch and his Imperial Jazzband". Recent engagements in Los Angeles have included guest spots with the award-winning residency Guitarology.
The group, which later settled on the name Red Onion Jazz Band, later played at his first wedding.[6] In 1974 he played in A Touch of Ragtime, an album with his band, the Imperial Jazzband (which, other than its name, may or may not have had any relation to his college band). During the 1970s/80s, Segal made frequent television appearances with the "Beverly Hills Unlisted Jazz Band", whose members included actor Conrad Janis on trombone.
I included a link above where a CD version can be found. I had run across this vinyl album at a thrift store. There was only one banjo track on it. The rest was George playing the uke. He plays a 4 string banjo.
