[Dixielandjazz] Jazz at Lincoln Center and the Prohibition

[Marek Boym]

OK,
By now I've heard it all.  And liked most of it, even if there were
occasional szophone or trumpet breaks and solos that did not sound
very musical.
And I have not deteced any parody of early jazz; rahter a honest tribute.
BTW, if you're looking for a parody - seek "Mouldy Fig Stomp" by
Chubby Jackson.  Although a parody, it still sounds pretty good.
cheers
