[Dixielandjazz] Retirement Home Gigs

[Marek Boym]

Why "funny," Steve?  Bebop ruled when she was young.  Had Miles DAvis
been alive, he'd have been 86 this year!  It seems stranger that these
people like OKOM, even if it were quite popular in the '50's!  Even
then, real OKOM fans were a minority among the followers of Bird,
Monk, Miles, Brubeck, the MJQ.
Cheers
