[Dixielandjazz] Recording in New Orleans

[Bill Haesler]

  Brian Harvey asked:
> If so, when were the first recordings done in New Orleans?

Dear Brian,
I have a complete list in chronological matrix order from 1924 through 
to the early 30s.
It is very long, so if you have a 'dial up' connection it will take 
ages to download.
Or I can snail mail it.
Let me know.
Back in May 2002, listmate Anton Crouch and I used this list as the 
basis for six one-hour radio programs on 2MBS FM
by combining his 'The Record of Jazz' and my 'The Classic Jazz Era' 
spots.
For this marathon effort we played an item (sometimes two) from every 
jazz and blues session recorded by each of the record companies in New 
Orleans (March 1924 - November 1929) from Johnny DeDroit and His New 
Orleans Jazz Orchestra to Jones-Collins Astoria Hot Eight.
Kind regards,
Bill.
