[Dixielandjazz] Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

[Marek Boym]

Hi,
While I did not  like the Pink Turtle very much, I've always
considered The Anachronic Jazz Band one of the most original bands in
traditional jazz.  I heard the band in Nice back in 1977 (or was it
1976?), and went wild.  I attended several sets, and I was really
amazed by the difference in "I Hope Gabriel Likes My Music," played
within minutes from each other!
I have one - scratched - LP, bought second hand, and love it!

Definitely.  But this has been discussed here before, and there are
many records to prove it.

Can't wait to hear that.  Anything by Mazetier is a gas!
