[Dixielandjazz] Western Tunes and Jazz

[David Richoux]

Another very OKOM swinging modern "western band" in the Bob Wills 
tradition is "Lost Weekend" you can see a review at
http://www.swinginwest.com/reviews.htm  (and a plug at 
http://www.jimrothermel.com/LostWeekendComments.htm )

(Bob Schultz on trumpet. Jim Rothermel  on clarinet and saxophone, 
Kevin Porter  trombone and a whole bunch of geetars, fiddles and stuff)

and a very good list of other bands in this style at
