Lost Recordings by Louis Armstrong and the Dukes of Dixieland Now  
Available.

Website: http://www.srirecords.com
For Immediate Release

For some time SRI Jazz president, Shelly Liebowitz has been in  
discussions with the Estate of Frank Assunto the owners of most of the  
recorded material by The Dukes of Dixieland. Through an agreement  
these legendary recordings by the greatest Dixieland jazz group of all  
times will finally be digitally re-mastered and available on the SRI  
Jazz website http://www.srirecords.com and on iTunes, Amazon and all  
other major digital distribution outlets.

Included in this collection are long lost recordings by Louis  
Armstrong & The Dukes of Dixieland. These fantastic and very  
collectible recordings are being released as "Lost Treasures" Vol#1 &  
2. They include such treasures as Sweethearts On Parade, Sweet Georgia  
Brown, New Orleans, Bourbon Street Parade and many other greats.

In addition to the recordings with Louis Armstrong, a never before CD  
of The Dukes of Dixieland called "Live At The Famous Door" which was  
recorded at that famous New Orleans venue all those years ago, is also  
finally becoming available. Another collection entitled Family  
Favorites is also being released. This is a collection compiled by the  
family of all the songs that each family member considers a favorite.

The Dukes of Dixieland have been often imitated but never duplicated.  
Fran and Freddy Assunto created The Dukes of Dixieland and the group  
has been called "The First Royal Family of Dixieland Jazz". They were  
credited by many as the group that made Dixieland popular and from the  
50s to the 60s they were one of the top attractions at venues worldwide.

"It is with great pleasure that we are able to make these important  
recordings available. The Dukes of Dixieland were favorites of mine  
from the first time I heard them as a teenager. The music is as  
vibrant, moving and fantastic as it was when first recorded. To be  
able to bring this wonderful music to a new generation is a personal  
and professional pleasure" said Shelly Liebowitz.
