Only a little Dixieland, mostly with Skip Parsons' Riverboat Jazz Band
(this is Skip's 50th year as a professional musician), but even the
younger guys are playing a lot of what I would call "straight-ahead" or
"mainstream" jazz - the good stuff, not the
fusion-bop-acidjazz-screechy-doesn'tswing stuff.
