[Dixielandjazz] 10 Representative Dixieland Recordings

[Mike Millward]

I agree! I much prefer listening to modern trad jazz bands to listening to
the old time, usually poor quality recordings of earlier years. I believe,
of course, that we owe a huge debt to those early musicians. I would add at
least two more bands to your list of modern bands: High Sierra Jazz Band and
The 51st Eight.

Cheers

My 2 cents is get some current CDs by PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL ALIVE.

10 Representative CDs is an impossible task, but to get as close to the mark
as one can, it would be helpful to have "What's Happening Now" Dixieland
than "What Happened Then" Dixieland.

Shoot me, but IMO, Hot 5, Hot 7, ODJB, King Oliver is just not relevant to
the current audience. What is relevant?

Randy Reinhart's latest: "As Long As I Live" (arbors)
The latest BobCats CD from list mate Ed Metz.
A Joe Hopkins CD.
A Blue Street CD

ETC. Bury the dead guys and move on to the best of the live guys.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
