fans elsewhere. Graeme Bell had regular gigs in the early forties and <br>
others were following. The Port Jackson Jazz Band formed in Sydney in <br>
1944, the Southern Jazz Group in Adelaide in 1945 and there were many <br>
other groups around in the same period.<br>
<br>
Harry Harman formed the Paramount JB in 1953 (from earlier transient <br>
bands) not 1948.<br>
<br>
And the Sydney Jazz Club was roaring along before TRAD was ever heard of.<br>
