[Dixielandjazz] Tributes and Re-Creations

[Marek Boym]

What IS a recreation, Steve?  Origonal scores often leave room for
fresh solos.  I have heard the Midri Brothers on tape, and their
playing did not sound a slavish copy to me.
If Ed Metz's arrangements are adapted, they are not a slavish copy!
There is (was?) a British band that called itself "Muggsy Remembered."
 It played tunes associated with Muggsy, but was far from a copycat!
By the way, it also recorded a tribute to the Bobcats.
Cheers,
Marek
