[Dixielandjazz] original styles

Hi Pat-
 
Ole Satch caught plenty of flack, especially in his later years. from the  
self-styled jazz musicians of African-American descent. They called him a "Tom"  
and much worse, for his dancing and mugging on stage. Even the early Moldy 
Figs  were shocked when they learned that Louis was more than just a hot trumpet 
 player on a 78 rpm.  His showmanship wasn't appreciated by many. The  
original man was a lot more complex than most of us realized.  Many just  couldn't 
accept the "diversity."
