[78-L] Virginia Jazz Orchestra

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Probably the easiest way to reach Michel Ruppli would be through the 
discographic publication Names & Numbers, who advertise MR's current 
works. Email gehojazz at planet.nl and you'll get thru to the publisher 
Gerard J. Hoogeveen. Or you can go to the website 
www.names-and-numbers.nl and explore there.
