[Dixielandjazz] List of compositions by K. O. Eckland?

[Stan Brager]

Bill;

Regarding the Woody Herman recording of "Who Dat" or should I say the
processed version (using Mono-Mono), I noticed a distinct and objectionable
loss of tonal quality. Especially, the bass - it just doesn't have lower
frequencies which were in the original scratchy version.

Should we now discuss the limitations which programs such as Mono-Mono have
when compared to the original recordings? While even the original recording
doesn't display the sonic qualities of the live band, at least it comes
closer.

In many ways It's like saying which tastes better, food from the can or the
farm?

Dear Dick.
As usual you have opened up another can. 
And it's not beer.

I have also found:
Lee Roy & His Band Who Dat! (Buck Dance).

Then there is the Woody Herman 1943 Decca 18169 "Who Dat Up Dere?" (Walter
Kent - Sidney Russell) that I still remember from my youth.
