[Dixielandjazz] Bobby Hackett

[Brian & Gail]

Hi as a recent receiver of Dixieland digest  and following many sites  on 
the net I find it amazing
  that Bobby Hackett  contribution to jazz is not mentioned as much as many 
of the other cornet players
   of the same vintage ?    any suggestions  why?
