[Dixielandjazz] The many articles about JAZZ

[Stephen G Barbone]

An email from Norman Vickers pointed to the below link which is an  
incredible resource for Jazz Fans. Norm was talking about the article  
and while there I noticed that if you scroll down about half way and  
look at the right side of the page you see a section entitled "What We  
Are Reading". If you click on  various subjects there, you get some  
very interesting articles, blogs, sources of jazz information. Here's  
the link:

No doubt many of the articles will not interest the the one eyed  
purists like my mate Bill Haesler, HOWEVER here are a few that even he  
and con firmed traddies will enjoy.

Jazz Lives
http://jazzlives.wordpress.com/     (Scroll past articles you don 't  
like to find those you do)

Listening to the music on these (and other sites) while reading the  
comments on them is a real treat for those of us who enjoy OKOM, or  
any form of jazz for that matter.

Yes indeed, the information resources on that NPR site is simply  
wonderful.
