[schymbros]

Great music!

[mcfrdmn]

Wonderful musical performance!

[tellmeitsnottaken]

Please come to the US! I will travel ;D

[ABrandsma]

@tellmeitsnottaken I'd love to, give me a booking agent that organises it!

[Maschseefest]

GREAT !

Welcome on the Maschseefest 2011 in Hannover-Germany.

[iCharleyStudios]

technically not ragtime. Ragtime is piano, and hardly ever incorporates horns. This is literaly Dixieland music. Lol it's pretty damn similar though. And this is great

[ABrandsma]

@iCharleyStudios The title of this song is : Alexander's Ragtime Band. A big hit from 1911, with composer credits for Irving Berlin. It invites you to go to a party, where a great ragtime band is playing. Indeed it is not in ragtime form, as it is a verse - refrain song. Early Jazz (name it Dixieland, New Orleans whatever you want) has strong roots in Ragtime, esp. the multi strain songs, like the great Jelly Roll Morton and King Oliver records. Maybe early jazz is a mix of blues and ragtime.

[iCharleyStudios]

@ABrandsma Ahh i see. I thought the song was Dixieland Crackerjacks. Now i know that's the band. hah

[carlosbosta]

[54pepe46]

WoW what a saxo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[headshotfanatic]

I love the saxophone solo

[slowdog294]

Five stars. Bravo!

[kabrinkley]

ran across the Crackerjacks by accident after watching bass sax duet on Bill Bailey. What a treat!! Didn't think this music existed outside "Nawlins". Not much European exposure in Missouri!

[ABrandsma]

Hi, for us Europeans it is very hard to work in your country. I did play a few times in N.O. though. Lived it and would go again when possible.

Kind regards,

Bert Brandsma

[progressiverebel]

@ABrandsma ... I sure like your playing. Keep... on.... 

[MrObjectionable]

@kabrinkley Thats exactly hoow I arrived here too! Shame this sort of music isn't arround much anymore.

[ErichKontermann]

schlecht, beschissen, keine musik, lärm, nichts als tumber, blöder lärm

[ABrandsma]

Das sagten die Nazis damals auch bereits in die 30 er jahre. Kulturkammer?

[santafechiles]

Great Band & Website, If your ever in Santa Fe, NM , USA. Please visit us At Evangelos every Saturday afternoon." Santa Fe Chiles Jazz Band"

[musicfanBRA]

Great! Reminds me of the saying: "And as a finishing touch, God created the Dutch".

[08babybird]

I love the dixieland crakerjacks

[08babybird]

Do u think u can come to southside elem. soon I now a girl who loves u there in kentucky pike county k

[ABrandsma]

We would love to come, but it is not so easy to organise, since we live in the Netherlands.

I did play a few times in the USA though, 2 times New Orleans, once San Francisco, once New York & Tampa. So why not Kentucky?

Kind regards,

Bert Brandsma

[08babybird]

Today in music class we listened to this i loved it

[alphacowboy003]

Thanks for sharing!!!!

[trydreamin]

You guys are just great. Please come to the United States. I think I'm in love with Slidin Selena. She is always ther with that beautiful bone. I don't think I have heard anyone better or more tasteful. Sure would like to hear a clarinet in there for some smoke signals.

[ABrandsma]

We hope to be invited for a US tour or Jazz festival!

Thanks for listening,

BB

[Tobytrim]

Fine job by excellent , and fun, musicians......

[echosoccer]

Hey, I'm currently doing this song for a chamber piece with my brass trio. great reference. thanks, guys.

[sfkcbf]

Some Dixieland lovers consider the very best Dixieland band to have been Turk Murphy, and the very best of his recordings to have been the late 1950's LP recording "Dancing Music," which fairly recently was re-released on a compilation-CD called "New Orleans Stomp."

[paulostroff99]

Very enjoyable! TY James

[CanadaPisces]

Ragtime certainly gets your foot tapping! Thank you!

[3muimui]

thank you James for sharing!

[Mithnoviel]

i love this tune! a friend of mine is singing it in a show this week, a slowed down jazzy version. so cool! they just dont write them like they used to...

[feanando]

Hey, I wish you would visit Brazil someday and play in our streets!

[ABrandsma]

We would love to play in Brazil, so if you know any booking agents or jazzclubs that book international, please let them know about us!

Kind regards,

Bert Brandsma

[nekopiratesanji]

[Cloud1117]

[GRANDOVERLORD77]

They sure dont do it like this anymore.

[ABrandsma]

Well, in fact they did this last saturday again!

[beadfc]

This is brilliant, please come to London and do a show!

[ABrandsma]

We would love to! We were in Birmingham last year, so why not London?

Who will organise this?

Thanks,

BB

[Fretkillr]

Wow, those Frisians can swing! This song was written by Irving Berlin in 1911 in New York City.
