Steve, I have found that most Trad musicians outside the USA know the history of American Jazz better than us Yanks.  

Likewise, and even more so, with the non-American fans.  I remember speaking to one of the Preservation Hall JB musicians who told me that young kids in Europe knew more about his life than he could remember.
