[Dixielandjazz] vinyl-- what to do? Clarinetist Brad Terry writes

[Phil Pospychala]

Try Bob Koester's Jazz Record Mart.  Bob'll  give him a good deal.  See Chicago Tribune jazz Critic Howard Reich's story on a rebirth of jazz LPs and that includes Dixieland.  Maybe Norman has the date of that story.
