[Dixielandjazz] Pee Wee Russell

[Bill Haesler]

Dear Brian,
I have that "Old Folks" on the very rare original LP, Kapp K-1028.
Took me ages to find, but......lucky me!
So far as I know. the session has not been released on CD but, hopefully,
under the 50-year copyright rule (outside the US) it is now eligible.
French Classics have already issued a George Wettling CD (1940-1944) in its
'Chronogical' [sic] series and there is still enough material for another
two CDs (1951-58). Let's hope that they follow through.
You will note from the full session details below that "Old Folks" is in the
Time-Life 'Giants of Jazz' boxed LP set STLJ-17, 'Pee Wee Russell', which I
also have.
Kind regards,
Bill.
