George Phillips<br><br>Around 1956-57 trumpeter Don Fowler and clarinetist George Phillips, two musicians from <br>the Pacific Northwest, recreated the Original Dixieland Jazz Band on this rather unique <br>LP.

It must have taken a great deal of work and research to get this down <br>correctly but somehow the bizarre project works.
