[Dixielandjazz] Young BloggerIn Jerusalem

[Marek Boym]

By the description - the Isradixie Band, whose leader is Avraham
Felder.  The "Paul" in question would be Paul Moore, not Morris.  But
I do not recall their ever playing Sacramento.  The only Israeli bands
I know to have done so are the Pargod Jazz Band and, I believe, the
Jerusalem Jazz Band of Boris Gammer (not really an OKOMer, and it
shows), but I don't think Paul has ever played with them.
