[Dixielandjazz] "You, the living"

[Ingemar Wågerman]

Hello Anton et al,

IMO, "You, the living" IS a great film. And there is traditional jazz played by members of the Stockholm Classic Jazz Band and Papa Bue´s Viking Jazz Band. Roy Andersson himself was a trombone player in Gothenburg around 1960, in a school band called Red Onion Jazz Band. (I am just preparing a book about the traditional jazz around Gothenburg from the twenties until today. A huge list of musicians and bands can be found on our web site http://listen.to/gotariver).

Cheers
