[Dixielandjazz] New Hampshire (USA) University Traditional Jazz CD

[Steve barbone]

Ivor Jones and others note that trad jazz seems to be heard more often
nowadays as background, on commercials, etc.  Certainly true here in the
Northeast USA, as per my many posts on the subject. Perhaps it has always
been around these parts or maybe gaining since Burns Jazz? Here is a note
about a long running series that few of us have heard about, but sounds like
a winner.

Cheers,
Steve
