[Dixielandjazz] Jazz Breaks etc.

[David W. Littlefield]

The books on Craig's list look worthy. 
I'm going to add my forthcoming "Dixieland Fake Book Vol. 2" to the list,
because it's largely transcribed from the records, and includes the rest of
the 1923 Olivers not in DixFB vol. 1, Hot5-7s, Red Hot Peppers, Johnny
Dodds '26-28, etc. Lots of fodder for study.

Dunno when it will be out, but most tunes are at least mostly done, so it
shouldn't be too many months, depending on how long it takes to solve some
problems... You can check progress (and contents) on

click on Books, click on the title.
