[Dixielandjazz] A new Bunk Johnson compilation

[Jazzjerry at aol.com]

Hi all,

I thought it would be appropriate to bring to your attention a new 
compilation double CD which has just been issued in the UK. At the very reasonable price 
of £(GBP) 10.95 or £(GBP) 9.32 (depending on whether you have to pay British 
VAT) plus post and packing this is somewhat of a bargain. Bunk has a well 
deserved place in the history of traditional or Dixieland jazz and should you not 
have any of his work in your collection this can be a good way of putting this 
right. I have copied details of the album below.

Incidentally for real music lovers another record company is about to release 
an album of the works of Florence Foster Jenkins, entitled "Murder On The 
High Cs" which additional tracks by Jimmy Durante, and a version of 'The Blue 
Danube' featuring Josephine Tumminia with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. Futher 
details availbale on request!!!!!

Cheers,

Jerry,
