[Dixielandjazz] opening a can of worms

Oh my God Cees I can't believe you said THAT :))

Please send me 100 kilos of what you are smoking :))

That's like saying Dutch food is Haute Cuisine  while touring  in 
France or Italy :))

It also depends upon what one considers Jazz and I have heard a lot of 
stuff touted and passed off as Jazz in Europe that is simply 
un-listenable and Have been sent Cds of it and asked to book it.   
Fortunately it was not OKOM and I found it hard to believe that it was 
AKOM

Anbody's Kind of Music,, Hell even that it was music.
Cheers,

Tom   Bring 'em on!!   Wiggins

    Europe embraced the jazz legacy in the forties, started to copy and 
then 
 started developing jazz on its own. Reading DJML I found out there's 
  a lot of unjustified patriotism in the U.S.A. I think the level of 
jazz in 
 Europe is much higher than in the U.S.A. Most bands in Europe 
 are just superiour to U.S.A.-bands. I know we all have to pay our 
 debts to the originators, but it is time to see the truth, so that 
 we can communicate on the right level.
