[Dixielandjazz] Louis and the Dukes of Dkxkieland

[Marek Boym]

Although I' not Bill, I share his view about the Dukes.  Only recently
I was given an LP on Audio Fidelity, listened to it - and did not find
it any better than 20 years ago.
But I certainly shall check the items recommended.
Cheers

They still had that New Orleans "bounce" sound that many of the white New Orleans bands of the late 40s and early 50s had.  Many of those bands were captured on the Southland label, guys like Sharkey Bonanno, Mike Lala, Santo Pecora (Freddie Assunto's idol), Emile Christian, and many more.
