[Dixielandjazz] The Merseysippi JB >> Famous Again !

[Dingo]

Well, sorta I suppose. Apart from them, George Shearing and Claire Martin I
can't say as I have ever heard of any of the others. Correction, I do
recall Guy Barker did a Bix 'thing' with Keith Nichols about 10 years ago.

Do any UK listmembers know who was actually nominated for these awards ?
