   this is sad to note and I would like to comment on a statement that I made 
recently.  I stated that Dixieland Jazz encompassed New Orleans Jazz, Chicago 
Jazz, Eddie Condon style Jazz, & San Francisco Jazz.  I would add to this 
British Trad Jazz.  The evolution of what we know as Dixieland or traditional 
Jazz took on a new twist with the devolpment of what is known broadly as Trad 
Jazz in England.  A unique cast of musicians came about there and contributed 
in remarkable fashion to this music.  It is to our disadvantage here in the 
States that we are not more familiar with them.
