Just wondering why Tres Bien is not included in all the festivities centered around Gaslight Square. They are the only jazz group I know that recorded on a major recorded label that was popular in St. Louis during the Gaslight Square era. Someone needs to call Jeter Thompson. I just feel the legendary group gets left out. Also, their stories are not being told. It would be only fair to include them in all the documentaries concerning St. Louis Jazz history. Someone is not doing their homework by not including them.
