[Dixielandjazz] Jazz in New Orleans

[Anton Crouch]

Hello Bill, Dan and Jack

Me ole Aussie mates are both fast and accurate - a thousand thanks. I'd
say that the existence of recordings by Bolden and Keppard is still
problematic and that the Sweatman cylinder(s) probably were made but are
now lost.

Jack gave us the correct quote for the "Columbia telegram" and it now
seems that the story could be apocryphal. Brunn's story came from Nick
LaRocca and no supporting evidence is given. Lawrence Gushee doubts it -
see Tim Brooks, "Lost sounds", University of Illinois Press, 2004, page
562, note 15.

All the best,
Anton
