[Dixielandjazz] Bria Skonberg's latest CD

[Kay Spencer]

Larry,

Many musicians, not only the younger ones,  play more than one specific style of music.  After looking at the playlist from Bria's album, I suspect that you didn't look at it before you purchased the CD.  Even the artwork on the cover would suggest that if you were anticipating OKOM, a more detailed look would be warranted.
