[Dixielandjazz] Robert Parker's Jazz Classics in Stereo

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

A couple of months ago, I convinced a St. Louis African-American  gentleman 
in his 80's to come with me to the Scott Joplin House to hear Don  Vappie and 
Victor Goines.  This man was born in rural Louisiana and  had told me of 
standing in the streets in New Orleans as a youth (because  he couldn't get in) to 
listen to the music.  He is still thanking me  for persuading him to go listen 
to Vappie and Goines, repeatedly  tells me, "That's the music I heard as a 
kid.  I haven't heard it just like  that in all these years."

An  incredible thanks to Mr Haesler for bringing this website to our  
attention, or at least mine, anyway.  Whilst listening to the  broadcast 
on King Oliver, I encountered the Don Vappie group recreating  what the 
Creole Jazz Band would have sounded like in person.  Of  course, they're 
not the first to try and do so, but I became convinced  within only a few 
minutes that they were the first to truly succeed.   I immediately did 
some Googling, and before I knew it, I'd ordered the  relevant CD, "In 
Search of King Oliver."  Please forgive me,  everyone, if this is old 
news (the CD is from 1997), but THAT SOUND was  news to ME.  I've only 
heard half of the 2-hr broadcast, and can't  wait to hear the rest.

Damn, if I don't miss so much by being out of  the loop these days!,
