[Dixielandjazz] Original 'Moldy Fig' Brad Gowens?

[Snogpitch]

Who is (was?) Brad Gowens & Co.?

The rest I've heard of, might even have copies of those cuts, I'll have
to check my collection to make sure.  Interesting that Ted Lewis was on
there, one of my favorites I rarely hear mentioned.

Moldy Fig fans--

The only true Jazz I ever heard off the record was that of
Lu Watters in San Francisco, and Brad Gowens & Co. in New York.  (The
former by far superior)...
