You deduction is all wrong.
I did not disagree with the statement that " musos like DeParis,
Dickenson et al, switched to Dixieland by 1950, because  that's where

Brothers (both) layed dixieland on labels which were quite prepared to
record swing, and had done so.  It was THEIR choice.  But you would
rather refute arguments never put forward.  Perhaps you should learn

In 1944, swing was still king, although perhaps and old and weak one.

Of course, you preferred to ignore this paragraph, because it did not
seve your purpose.
