[Dixielandjazz] A New Book on OUR KIND OF MUSIC

[Ivor Jones]

Dear Bob.

It's certainly not a new book on Jazz, I bought it around the 60s as a 
member of the Jazz Book Club, in England. I enjoyed it then .It was written 
by Roland Gant. I expect confirmation by our guru, Bill from Oz. Of course 
it is possible that somebody has nicked the title from Mr Gant.
