[Dixielandjazz] Dixieland v. Trad Jazz

[Gary Lawrence Murphy]

some players tell me they think 'Dixieland' sounds hokey, like it
belongs in Disneyland or something, or that it doesn't mention Chicago
or NYC, but I say Louis Armstrong called it Dixieland, and that's good
enough for me.  Labels are only for the label marketing reps to banter
about anyway ;)
