[Dixielandjazz] Trad Jazz

[Marek Boym]

> Or did Watters actually start a new style, which some call Trad


To my ears - he did.  And it has often been referred to as "San
Francisco Style," or even "West Coast" (more confusing, as a "modern"
style has been called that, too).

Nevertheless, his pioneering efforts seem to have sired the revival of
interest in traditional jazz, under any name we attach to it - trad,
New Orleans, Dixieland (btw, to me, before I joined this list, trad
meant the British trad).
Cheers
