Steve or anyone--
    Are there any recordings of Miles actually playing dixieland?
    I've got a record (made in Italy, and my Italian's a little rusty, so i can't read the liner notes) of Miles Davis and His Tuba Band, recorded (as i recall) in 1948, with Bill Barber on tuba (who apparently used to transcribe Lester Young solos so he could play them).  That of course wasn't OKOM, but at least it had a tuba in it.  Are there any earlier recordings (like with Scobey) of Miles in such a band?
