As ever it is a matter of personal preference. For those that haven't
heard James Morrison, I would recommend listening to Snappy Doo :-

There are a variety of styles on this album. None are what many
on this list would describe as Dixieland, but you can hear
the influences. I would include this in MKOM.

He is certainly a multi-talented guy. On this album alone he plays
4 trumpets, 4 trombones, 5 saxes and a piano along with doing most
of the arrangements.

Enjoy
