Found new film?

[ostarella]

Just cruising around and found out that Dirk appeared in a film with Conrad Janis called "This Joint is Jumpin" - unfortunately I can't find out too much about it but apparently it was kind of a celebration of Dixieland music, and Dirk played trombone. Anyway, from the website found this photo:

Anyone else know anything about this?

I looked a bit more around the site and found this:

There's a clip of the video. I didn't know about this before you mentioned it, so I asked Dirk for some background. I'll let you know what he says :)
I'll have to pick this up. I love jazz!

Have you found out any more about it?

I got a copy of the video from a friend (Pam). It was obviously edited for television, and not nearly enough of Dirk, but was great anyway. I took it to the Comic Con with me and Dirk autographed it for me. He was very surprised to see it, actually. Apparently, from what I have been able to find out about it, it was a jam session taped and televised for a fund-raiser for an LA public television station.
