That’s a good point Bert.

Maybe, for reasons similar to why the Time-Life recreations of big band era recordings were so popular.

My interest is musicological. If these guys did notated transcriptions, they would be a great aid to study and analysis in determining how the ODJB put together their startling new music - 

That’s why I asked the question: Are any of these musicians still with us?

On iTunes, search for -

Original Dixieland Jazz in Hi-Fi

Cheers,

Andrew
