Jim,

Papa Jacks grandson Mike Marois is, or was a member of DJML.  I forwarded your message to him.  

His email is:

mike.marois at hirelivemusic.com

Yes, quite a court battle over the name.  

I think all the info about the law suit is on a web site somewhere.  

To get the Dukes LPs, you might check used record sites, etc.  

Possibly other members of DJML might have some suggestions for you.  

Best,
