[Dixielandjazz] OKOM bands on TV in the 1950s/1960s?

[David Richoux]

Mike,

I remember your posting of those performances - thanks for the memory 
jog!
Were there other bands performances from that era that have been saved?

I have several DVDs of movies & short subjects from jazz bands from the 
30s and 40s but I have not seen anything from later years.
