[Dixielandjazz] Want some reference works for jazz?

[Norrie Thomson]

Hi listmates

I nought the CD-ROM a couple of months ago and have used it several times.
It is easy to install and to use.  However, several of the recordings that I
have searched for are not in the discography.  Items on the smaller
independant labels seem to be sketchy  I am talking GHB, PEK Lake etc. Has
anyone else found this?
