[Dixielandjazz] It's Trad, Dad

[Charles Suhor]

Strange, indeed. It was odd for me as an American to try to understand 
that, unlike here, there was obviously an audience in 1962 in England 
that simultaneously dug trad/Dixieland and the lite rock that made up 
most of the rest of the movie. Young folks here who were digging 
Frankie Avalon, Gary U.S. Bonds, Chubby Checker, and early bubble gum 
rock, doo-wop, etc., weren't usually interested in Dixieland at all. I 
was grateful to see this unique little period piece, though, and there 
was plenty of OKOM. Any hints as to whether the chick with the male 
voice was lip-syncing?
