[Dixielandjazz] Little Jazz Festival up in this neck of the woods... "coctail swing"

[David Richoux]

Marek,

Maybe it means something else in Canada, but "coctail swing" can be  
better than Musak, at least what is played around San Francisco that  
is sometimes called by that term. Think Louis Prima / Keely Smith /  
Sam Butera / Louis Jordan style, sometimes Vegas "Lounge" style, "New  
Swing" like Steve Lucky and the Rhumba Bums (who did some killer sets  
at Sacramento,) stuff like that.
