[Dixielandjazz] Hot Swing Trio

[Michael Woitowicz]

Fellow DJML'rs,

Regarding the Hot Swing Trio, you might be interested to note that the group
recently issued a new CD called "Hot Swing" and it's got some great stuff on
it.

You can hear the Grapelli influence in Mark O'Connor's playing on a number
of the tunes.

Frank Vignola, the guitarist, is also one heck of a banjo player.
