[Dixielandjazz] Bob Chester (was Rare Ethel Merman cartoon short)

[Marek Boym]

Dear Dave,
I am not a performer.  Amd it took me years to findout what I liked.
I've already mentioned it here - both in Poland and in Israel any rhythmic
western music was considered jazz.  I took time to realize that Brazilian
and other Latin rhythms were really not for me.
I indeed found it interesting to read about the roots, but waht I consume
is the fruit.
cheers
