| | From Dixie To Swing
Such jazz legends as Dick Wellstood, Alphonse 'Doc' Cheatham, George Duvivier, and more back you up in this amazing collection of New York-style Dixieland standards. After the break-up of the big-band era around 1950, many of the finest swing players found themselves without an outlet for their abilities and took to playing Dixieland in New York clubs such as Eddie Condon's and the Metropole. A new style of Dixieland jazz was born, minus the banjos, tubas, steamboats and magnolias! It is this version we celebrate with this folio! We encourage you, the soloist, to invent counter-melodies rather than mere harmony parts. This is music of loose weaving parts, not one of precision ensemble figures. In short, it is one of the greatest improvisational experiences any jazz player could hope to have!
