Chinatown My Chinatown - Dixieland Crackerjacks, Schiermonnikoog 2009

[WyrmofAir]

I would love the chance to play in a band like this, I play the bass trombone.

[Muzikusmultiensis]

This is wonderful rendition! If anyone listening to these guys is not tapping their feet, they better check their pulse, cause they might be dead.

[augpeh]

I heard this at HKDL.

Maybe one day you guys will be there marching up and down playing this together with the soundtrack that plays there.

:)

[augpeh]

Hmmmm....

This rox

[GoellnitzBryce]

How many different languages can you speak? I see you speaking several different languages in your different videos. Quite impressive!

[ABrandsma]

I speak Dutch, German and English fluently. A bit French and did pick up some words in Portugese, Polish and Spanish while on tour, but that is not much.

Thanks for listening,

Bert

@ABrandsma Een Nederlander dus. Betekent zeker dat je (zoals de meeste Nederlanders) Nederlands, steenkolenengels en een beetje Duits kent. But why let facts get in the way of a common facade?

The music is brilliant though.

[KapnKoolio]

Dixie Crackerjacks: great as always!

[tmcclarren]

Dixieland Crackerjacks still have first place in my CD player. The band sounds great and hope your family is healthy and happy. Tell the guy from the midwest to come and visit NC for one of our shows, assuming of course he means midwest USA. HA HA

Looking forward to the new CD.

Best regards

Thom "The Original King Street Jazz Band"

[Paganinilovechild]

great song, thanks for posting it.

[GoellnitzBryce]

Yo guys are really great!!! I wish there were more bands like you in the Midwest!

[ABrandsma]

So I guess we need a tour to the midwest.

Wish i knew someone who could organise such.

Kind regards,

Bert Brandsma

[RottenDarkness]

Simply great,

if you ever get close to northern Germany drop me a line, I'd love to see you guys live !

Cheers, Jes

[ABrandsma]

We have been playing a few times on the island of Baltrum, they will probably ask us back in the future.

I'll keep you in mind!

Kind regards,

Bert

This must be a very hard song to improvise on as some of the rips were a little strange sounding Just kidding. good as always.

[radiioman46]

You guys are still cooking!

[spmlt2]

Great! Where did you ever get the idea for the instrumentation?

[ABrandsma]

Well, in fact we never really got the idea, but it slowly developped.

We started out with tp, altosax, banjo, drums/wb and sousaphone.

At a certain point the sousaphone player was not available anymore and we had not really a suitable replacement. Around that time we discovered Selena on trombone, so I simply switched to bass saxophone then in the interest of the band.

Kind regards,

Bert Brandsma
