[Dixielandjazz] Bixing

[ROBERT R. CALDER]

Unlike NOW THAT'S CHICAGO Joe Sullivan was Chicago. 
 
It's very good history rather than Bixing that Joe was working with Red Ingle in 1925, and good but painful history that Joe (dedicatee of the title poem in a book by the English poet-pianist Roy Fisher) did not work and indeed would not touch some other gigs available to a piano-player when the late Ken Gallacher visited him in I think 1966 (lovely interview in Jazz Journal the following year). 
In fact Ken described Joe as just a lovely man.
