[Dixielandjazz] Upcoming Sacramento Jazz Jubilee

[Rick Zahniser]

Scanning down the genre, I note that under "20's Red Hot Jazz" there is...
NOBODY!!

Good grief!

A couple of reference points.  Two YouTube selections for you:

Notice:
+ All the stops -- characteristic of 20's red hot jazz
+ The 'dogfight' at the end, characteristic of all good trad jazz!

They just celebrated their 42nd Anniversary, and according to their list 
of festivals over the years, they have never attended a festival in the 
US, much less Sacramento.

Why is this?  Any thoughts?
