Please share that Jaxon picture if you find it.

I'd be glad to share an mp3 of the song from the Wax Shop record, which
sounds great.

Is there a complete discography of Frankie "Halfpint" Jaxon? I
somehow don't
think even the complete Document sets could contain everything, but could be
wrong...

Best,
Margaret G. Still

I've never come across a Wax Shop disc but I do love Frankie
"Halfpint"
Jaxon. The Document CD has a really awful dub of Christmas Morn (awful even
by Document's standards) and only a single picture of him in a white jacket
with a baton. Somewhere I have a copy of an article from a mid-1940's
Australian jazz publication which may have a picture of him with a gospel
group. Might be next Christmas morn before I find it again but I'll look.
David Diehl?
