[Dixielandjazz] Red Hot Jazz Site (was Davenport Blues)

[Bob Smith]

Dear Rebecca,

Patrice Champarou is at present stucturing an index to the Red Hot Jazz 
Archive, and I'm assisting him by doing a run-through of the archive. The 
whole archive comprises 750 pages, so this task takes a while! When we've 
arrived at a stable state we shall be going public. In the meantime we would 
ask everyone to be patient. People using IBM-type PC's shouldn't have any 
problem in playing most of the artists and tunes printed in yellow, and 
these can be found by googling, e.g. using artist name and 'Red Hot Jazz 
Archive' as keys. People with Macs will amost certainly have problems, but 
these are being addressed by some Mac owners at the moment.

Somebody else is working anonymously on the archive, but we have not been 
able to contact the person(s) responsible.

You say that you can play Armstrong and Jelly Roll. I should be very 
interested to hear from you if you can play either of  Jelly Roll's 'Cannon 
Ball Blues', the second 'Chant' or any of the New Orleans Jazzmen recordings 
other than  "Ballin' The Jack' and 'I Thought I Heard ...', and likewise 
Louis Armstrong's Hot Five recordings of 'He Likes It Slow', 'Ory's Creole 
Trombone', and 'Two Deuces', or either of the two recordings with the 
Polynesians

Kind Regards

Bob Smith
