I used to have a modicum of respect for Schaap. No longer. He takes advantage of his position in knowing personalities and musicians and is not only doing that, but he is shamelessly committing highway robbery by selling cheap 78 reissues for Paramountian prices. This doesn't change my opinion of Marsalis one iota. He's still a hugely talented musician with an overinflated ego and sense of self. Why would anyone want a record by an artist that is signed BY SOMEONE ELSE? Let Marsalis oughty-graph his own durned records. But having him sign a Bix reissue after what he said (or didn't say) about him on Ken Burns's so-called "documentary" is sheer blasphemy.
