It  would be great to hear. but Steve's mention of a "battle of the 
bands" was already done once at the Central City, CO Jazz Festival in a 
joint venture of the Jim Cullem Jazz Band and the Sons of Bix, who 
joined their two bands for a few sets where each band furnished a chart 
from the Goldkette and Whiteman band. John Sheridan and Don Gibson did 
the charts and these twin admirers (Band wise) of the Bix period music 
pulled it off. I was delighted to take part and also had the forethought 
to have wife record it -- via a pocket-sized stereo cassette. Not studio 
quality by any means, but it was a one hell of a venture and more 
musical fun than most will ever have playing.
In practice, Steve's suggested concept works! Hope the bands go for it.
