[Dixielandjazz] Mills Brothers dixieland?

[Dan Augustine]

DJMLers--
     Last night i watched the "Soundies" TV special on PBS (great 
stuff, by the way), and one of the 3-minute (or so) clips was of the 
Mills Brothers, who were always one of my favorite groups.
     That got me to thinking (rarely a good thing, in my experience) 
and wondering if any of the Mills Brothers arrangements or style of 
singing has ever been played by dixieland/jazz bands.  Or, in fact, 
if any barbershop-quartet styles have ever been played by dixieland 
bands.  Seems like a good fit.  There's only one band i can think of 
offhand that has done barbershop songs, and that's the old Kings of 
Dixieland, with Matty Matlock, Red Callender, etc. (most, if not all, 
of which i have).
     But anyway, have any of the Mills Brothers type of arrangements 
even been done by dixieland bands?
