The files below are a result of an ongoing effort to document actual recorded performances of the great hot jazz bands of the 1920's. The project is an effort of John Birchall and myself. You can find more about the project at John's site: John Birchall's Dixieland Jazz If you would like to assist in this project, please contact us by sending email to alan@rouses.net. We need your Band-in-a-Box skills and your MIDI skills to help create this educational resource. Please volunteer! |
