[Dixielandjazz] FW: Museum Piece music

[Charles Suhor]

Interesting that in New Orleans, one of the first acknowledgments by an 
Establishment institution that jazz was valuable and not a blot on the 
city was the Jazz ARCHIVE at Tulane in 1958.  And the Jazz MUSEUM 
opened in 1961. It took longer than that for the living music to be the 
boast abd the toast of the town.
