[Dixielandjazz] Remember that clip of Alphonse Picou?

[Hal Vickery]

It turns out the entire program is on YouTube:

You may have to subscribe, but that's no big deal, and it's worth it just
for the historic interest.  On the other hand, the program's host, Art Ford,
is pretty tough to take.  He sounds like a Dave Garroway wannabe.  My
favorite part where he introduces his "old friend" and then has to look at
his notes for his name.

 

The music varies in quality, but with players like George Lewis, Paul
Barbarin, Punch Miller, etc., there are definitely some good moments.
