[Dixielandjazz] The Anachronic Jazz Band

[Gary Kiser]

Marek and all,

To my knowledge, The Anachronic Jazz Band only recorded two 33-1/3 LPs.  
10 or 15 years ago, Philippe Baudoin and Marc Richard (leaders/arrangers 
of the AJB) issued a double CD which contains the two LPs plus a handful 
of unreleased live recordings.

A very fine group indeed.  Marc Richard is still active in various 
groups most notably his fine Paris Swing Orchestra.  I don't hear of 
Philippe Baudoin playing much anymore, but he is still researching and 
writing.  His chord book is still one of the best out there.

Here are links to mp3s of the double CD.  I hope I don't get in any hot 
water as I have no rights to this recording.

Enjoy!

All the best, Gary
