[Dixielandjazz] The Anachronic Jazz Band

[Marek Boym]

Which "this," Alain?  If you mean the record mentioned in my posting, it
was listening to that very record that prompted it.
I bought the record because I had seen and heard the band in Nice in 1977.
A few years ago, probably the previous time I listened to that record, I
mentioned the youtube recordings on this list.
Cheers
