"This just shows that you are not aware of what is going on. An excellent 
band led by Dan Levinson with Jon-Erik Kellso is playing precisely in the style 
of the ODJB, Louisiana Five and other groups of the era and have released three 
CDs so far. And a damn good band it is with the playing on the albumss being 
a hell of a lot more lively and skillful that certain other bands I have heard 
on CD in the past year or so."

I agree with that, Jerry, but their style is based only loosely on that of 
the original ODJB. They are far more accomplished as musicians and innovators 
and they have a swinging rhythm section which is something the ODJB lacked.
