[Dixielandjazz] The Best Damn Band

[David Palmquist]

Sounds like it's time for a modern version of "battle of the bands"  but 
that's from the  swing era, I think.  Were they common in Dixieland music?

Of course there were "cutting contests" in earlier days, but I think that's 
generally from early jazz pianists.
