[Dixielandjazz] Dixielandjazz Digest, Vol 191, Issue 25

[Tito Martino]

Marek, our Traditional Jazz (OKOM) to survive must be played where young
people meet (....to dance, for ex.).
Here in São Paulo new young bands of OKOM are being formed just to play for
young lindy-hop dancers.
They even play Sundays, busking  at great central avenues closed to trafic,
for people to walk around.  And dance!
keep on swinging!
Tito
