In case some of the younger members of DJML may not know this, (as us older 
ones do), many big bands avoided recording completely in the earliest days of 
Dixieland. I think, King Oliver was one of these, although he may have 
relented later in his career to do recordings. The reason was simple: If they 
recorded their gigs then anybody could copy them. The way to avoid that was 
to never record. Interesting how it gets turned around and inside out.
