[Dixielandjazz] Vote for OKOM in the U.K.

[Robert Thompson]

Here's a chance to vote for OKOM in the U.K.  Lake Records has long been issuing (and reissuing) British and other traditional jazz recordings, and the proprietor, Paul Adams, has made the following announcement:

"An interesting piece of news: Lake Records has been nominated in the BBC Jazz Awards for the Record Supervision Collection. Much as we would like to receive an award this is also a chance for us to get some sort of notice taken of the style of Jazz we recognise! (usually I find reading the nomination a bit like the news in Welsh - I don't recognise anything). It is an internet or telephone vote so we need to mobilise as many people as possible to vote for a category of traditional/classic/mainstream jazz otherwise the BBC will say there's no interest in it! Tell your friends, enemies, readers, audiences, grannies, etc."

Go down to "The Best of Jazz Award" category.

The phone number is 08700 100 200

Cheers,
