Klezmer + Dixieland

[Joshua Horowitz <horowitz...>]

This answer is directed to Sharen Keim, who asked about Klezmer-Dixieland 
fusion, and who is unreachable under the given email:

The original Dixieland Jazz Band recorded a 78rpm with the title, 
"Palesteena" (Con Corad and R, Robinson) on Victor Dec. 4, 1920, which 
sports a popular tune favored among Jews (hence, the name Palesteena) as 
well as a Ukrainian Kolomeyka which Jews played, found sandwiched in one 
of the inner voices. Harry Kandel´s Orchestra (Klezmer) tried to play a Dixie 
cross-breed in "Jakie Jazz ´em Up"  (Victor New York, Oct. 25, 1926) which 
appears on Henry Sapoznik´s reissue by the same name. There´s more, but 
those are the most obvious and earliest. Good Luck. Josh Horowitz
