[Dixielandjazz] Banjo History -"hello!" (bagpipe jazz)

[david richoux]

Rufus Harley is probably the most successful jazz bagpiper (modern 
jazz, not OKOM) - I have one of his albums and actually saw him live at 
a Scottish Games and Bagpipe Band festival in Santa Rosa (now held in 
Pleasanton, CA.)  He was not a big hit with the traditionalists in the 
crowd (if you think OKOM purists are tough, just check out the audience 
at a bagpipe competition! ;-)

There are quite a few recent recordings of Gottschalk's compositions 
around - Lambert Orkis, Michael Lewin, Robert DeGaetano, Cecile Licad 
and a lot of others.
