Volume 239: Unknown Dixieland

Dixieland Veterans

My dad loved his Dixieland music. Even when he had no idea who was performing it. This is a perfect album for that mindset, because this budget label doesn’t even get all of the tunes listed correctly on the cover and label, let alone tell us who’s performing on it.

And even though the title of this episode leans toward anonymous musicians, today’s technology might have helped. And then again. It might not have.

So, get ready to hear some hot jazz recordings from an album re-released without naming the artists in Volume 239: Unknown Dixieland. 

For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
