I, too, enjoy Dixieland Gumbo.

I also enjoy a 7-CD boxed CD set I recently purchased from www.oldies.com: "The Very 
Best of Wilbur DeParis".  11 original albums on 7 CDs, all recorded in the mid-fifties, at 
the height of the trad jazz revival I experienced whilst a college student.  Features many 
of the original performers I saw perform then, who were still around, at the Savoy in 
Boston -- Wilbur, brother Sydney, Doc Cheatham, Omer Simeon, and many others.

I REALLY enjoy the CDs, as it's the music that I could experience live back then.

You can't go wrong buying this one.
