[Dixielandjazz] Lasting vs quality

[Anton Crouch]

Hello all

A simple, objective, criterion for the "who listens to?" part of this 
issue is the continuing availability of the recorded material in catalogue.

The Beatles certainly pass this test. When it comes to jazz, the 
landscape is bleak - the recordings of the greats of the classic era 
became extinct during the depression and were only rediscovered in the 
1940s. The only exception I can think of at the moment is Benny Moten.

All the best,
Anton
