[Dixielandjazz] Tulane University, William Ransom Hogan Jazz Archive

[Charles Suhor]

Yes, Bruce Raeburn will be a hard act to follow, but Lynn Abbott and Eliane Jordan are key staff. He (Lynn) is has been editing the Jazz Archivist journal—a good scholar and open-minded editor. I don't know who was downsized but I'm glad they're still there.
