[Dixielandjazz] The *French* Left Bank Bearcats

[Dick Baker]

There may well have been a Left Bank Bearcats band in Philadelphia, but the 
Bruuyninckx discography makes it pretty clear there was a band by that name 
that made three LPs, recorded in Paris, in 1956, 1957 and 1958.  The first 
two were called "Definitely French," vol. 1 & vol. 2; the third was called 
"Dixieland at the Maison Diabolique," and could well be the one that Vickye 
Blatherwick was inquiring about.

Vickye, does your LP have such off-the-wall tune titles as "Shakin' with 
the B.B." and "Shag Little Glowworm"?  If so, it would be that 1958 French LP.
