When someone says "traditional New Orleans jazz", for me that means the
work of Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, King Oliver, et cetera,
*not* the later 'Dixieland' revival that henceforth defined "New Orleans
jazz" for most listeners (unfortunately).
It don't get better than Armstrong on "West End Blues" or Jelly Roll's
"King Porter Stomp". :)
