[Dixielandjazz] Iberia

[Jim Kashishian]

Anyone flying on Iberian Airlines will be pleased to see that amongst their
"listening channels" (in Economy & Business Class), there is a channel
called "Jazz:  Dixieland".  
 
There is no "Jazz:  Modern!, or any other Jazz...just a Dixieland channel.
Wild!  There are the usual "Pop" channels, and "Restful Music" channels,
plus this new inclusion, which will keep you awake on transatlantic flights!

 
They used to have a Jazz channel with the usual Keith Jarret, Frank Sinatra,
Kenny G, etc. on it.  Now, however, you can enjoy Louis Armstrong, Jack
Teagarden, Kenny Ball, Chris Barber, and others...including 3 cuts from our
band, Canal Street Jazz Band.  
 
I had nothing to do with any of this new channel.  It has just appeared.  I
just heard it flying into Madrid from Chicago today.  We used to be included
in their "normal" jazz channel years ago, but then disappeared from the air!
Nice to be represented again, and nice to see a channel dedicated to OKOM.
