[Dixielandjazz] Coleman Hawkins & Dixieland

[Marek Boym]

How do you post on DJML without the "reply to all" option?

I have heard the post-Desmond band, even live, and it was even worst
than the Desmond one.  Actually, in the context of THAT group, Desmond
sounded quite good - the rest sounded worse!
You see, it took me years to separate the grain, and I really do not
wish to star again.
BTW, my favourite pianist is James P. Johnson.
Cheers
