[Dixielandjazz] Listening to Dead Musicians

[Edgerton, Paul A]

I'll just offer one simple observation:

Dead men play no jazz. Those records you all are jabbering so much about
were made by real live musicians. Their music reflects their vitality. The
bad news is that these records are all we have now. The good news is that we
*do* have them.

Paul Edgerton,
Who listens not only to the dead musicians, but also the living ones.
