[Dixielandjazz] Obit for N.O. jazz

[Fred Spencer]

Dear Tom,
You are probably surprised at the lack of a response to this essay--I am. As 
I'm sure you know, Mike Zwerin is an accomplished English jazz musician, 
long established in Paris, whose autobiography is "Close Enough for Jazz"
(Quartet Books, 1983). Surprisingly this book is not listed in his 
bibliography in "The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz", where he follows that 
everpresent finalist, Bob Zurke, only to yield the title to the 
Zwingenbergers!
Cheers.
Fred
