[Dixielandjazz] "New Orleans Bump" (was JALC NewOrleans Christmas)

[David Richoux]

A follow-up find!  I went to the website for film maker Stefan  
Sargent ( http://stefansargent.com/index.html ) to learn more about  
the film mentioned below. He has also done a film called "Robert  
Parker on Restoring Jelly Roll Morton."  I don't recall seeing any  
mention of Robert Parker on DJML but he is discussed a bit on  
Redhotjazz...
