[Dixielandjazz] Bruce Turner

[Marek Boym]

I do not buy that American" versus "British" (or Europan) musicians.  What
was Jacques Gauthe?  French - until he moved to New Orleans, and American
thereafter?  And how about Derek Smith, Keith Ingham, Marian McPartland or
Tony Pringle, the leader of the New Black Eagle Jazz Band?
Cheers
