[Dixielandjazz] NO J& H presents OKOM Too.

[David Richoux]

Even though they are not in the "Trad" tent, Dr Michael White's New  
Orleans Band is about as pure OKOM as one could expect (IMO.)  Hot  
jazz, great clarinet, New Orleans traditional tunes, very well played  
interpretations of historical pieces.

The Klezmer All-Stars are  a group that is right on the edge of OKOM,  
and most assuredly MKOM! They have managed to create something new  
out of traditional Klezmer and New Orleans Funk.  I have been  
listening to them for 15 years or so.

Both groups should be playing at major OKOM festivals like  
Sacramento. The reason they are not playing in the Economy Hall tent  
is that they are too popular - they need the bigger venues!
