[Dixielandjazz] Tribute To Lionel Hampton

[Marek Boym]

Hello,
So far, the Ascona "tributes" have been great!
Unfortunately I could not hear them "live," but I've acquired
recordings of several, and htey were all worthwhile, some being really
outstanding.
While American listmates probably know Peter Appleyard, they are lee
likely to know Dany Doriz, an excellent vibist who also manages the
Caveau de la Huchette jazz club in Paris.
I'm afraid that now may already be too late to get reasonable lodgings
in Ascona for the festival time.
Cheers
