[Dixielandjazz] Too many notes

[Bob Romans]

Chicago style jazz is one of my favorites...Pete Daily comes to mind, and 
Red Nichols...hell! King Oliver and Louis too, for the early style! Maybe 
it's the "modern" Chicago style that is different to me...
The musicians in the live broadcast from Denver are  some of the most 
talented musicians playing today...I wish that I was in the same league! 
Sandke can play MANY styles, with great aplomb...awesome comes to mind...in 
my wildest moments I would never deliberately "diss" (a word that is very 
strong)...any of those musicians!
