[Dixielandjazz] Introduction

[briantowers]

Hans,

A warm welcome to you from us on the DJML.

My congratulations to you for being able to enjoy both "traditional jazz'
and 'bebop"
This is something I have never been able to personally achieve, though I do
sometimes enjoy the MJQ, Shearing, Brubeck, Kenton, Oscar Peterson, etc
recordings.

We look forward to more interesting postings from you.

Brian Towers ( trombonist and bandleader, born in England, left there in
1969, now a Canadian)

P.S.  There are several very fine jazz musicians from Holland playing
traditional jazz here in Toronto and elsewhere.
