Jazz might be having one of its periodic revivals at the moment but 'trad jazz' (which harked back to the style of jazz played in New Orleans back in the 20s and 30s) seems destined to remain consigned to history. That's a shame, as this joyful cover from 1957 proves. If you want to know what some of the trad jazzers got up to back then have a read of George Melly's autobiographies...it'll make your hair curl.
