[Dixielandjazz] A message on the author of the Frank Rosolino piece

[JimDBB at aol.com]

Here are some messages on the Frank Rosolino piece that I posted.


Here is a note Sudhalter just sent me. So Gene Lees is the author of the
piece on Rosolino.

Gentlemen:

Think you should be aware of the following. Lees is definitely not one to
cross. If the Rosolino thing is to be disseminated further, it should be
with full attribution and disclosure. Otherwise...

Word to the wise.

best,

rms

Dick:

Send the word to Wayne Wright et al. This piece was stolen intact from my
book Meet Me at Jim and Andy's by a guy in Holland. It is flagrant
copyright
infringement. I was told about it a year ago. Should I sue? In which
country? And for how much? And if I won, how would I collect? This is a
classic illustration of the danger in which ALL copyright is now.

I wrote it not long after Frank died. Best

Gene Lees
