 Barker Hickox of World Jazz Records produced this CD in conjunction with 
the AZ Classic Jazz Society.  As I understand, the cost is $20.  $10 of this 
will go to the New Orleans musicians, $5 goes to the cost of producing the 
CD & the other $5 (after S&H, will go to the Jazz Societies youth program.

Order now.
