Royal Garden Blues - Dixieland Crackerjacks

http://www.dixielandcrackerjacks.com
Royal Garden Blues played by the Dixieland Crackerjacks. April 9. 2007 at Attractiepark Slagharen. With Michel Muller, Selena, Koos Greven, Bert Brandsma.
The Dixieland Crackerjacks concert band is the most direct link to how it all started in 1994. Usually with six musicians, occasionally with added guest soloists.
This setting is used during concerts at musical festivals, in theatres, at dances or when easy listening music is required.

The band did play at numerous Jazz festivals and in Jazz clubs throughout western Europe. Some of the highlights include longer international tours visiting festivals in Germany, (Dresden, Stuttgart, Cologne and many other cities) France, Belgium and England. (Birmingham Jazz Festival 1999). The music is introduced with some additional information about composers and original recordings. Every band member has a solo piece to show his/her individual musical capacities.
In recent times, the band is often asked to play at events in specific thematic settings, like Charleston, Cotton-Club, or Roaring-Twenties parties.
Sometimes the band is asked to play just easy listening. The Crackerjacks gained a good reputation at playing the right dynamics.

Through the years, a large and most varied band book has been built consisting of the highlights from the early jazz period, with additional own compositions and some sidesteps to other musical styles like Latin or Rock 'n Roll.

Omg where are you playing that they make you wear those Brady Bunch costumes? :)

I hope they pay you extra for that !!! :)

[ABrandsma]

This was a fun parc where we played 4 years , 130 shows a year. We could get that job if we where willing to wear this.

Two years ago we were fired and now they play our CDs!

How often do you rehearse, perform together? You have a great group.

[ABrandsma]

We perform at least 100 times a year, 2 years ago even 226 times. We never rehearse.

Kind regards,

Bert Brandsma

Have you ever heard the "Sextette From Hunger"

who recorded on McGregor records back in the

late 40's, early 50's? Since you play

Dixieland, I'm sure you'll enjoy their

Dixieland records.

[ABrandsma]

To be honest I had never heard of them soI googled the name and found out that Zutty Singleton was one of the players. So I will try to hear some records of them. What I found on the internet was all 78RPM, so that is a bit problematic since I don't have amachine for that.

Thanks for the tip,

kind regards,

Bert Brandsma

[ABrandsma]

I know that you mean that. That why I said : Listen to Bechet's version! What happens to the time there?

And get a job, you old complaner! Haha.

If you don't like what we do, no problem, there are so many nice other videos that you can visit. Stay away from ours. I didn't hire you as teacher and have very good reasons for not doing that.

I didn't mean speed, as how fast. I meant time, beat, like put a metronome to it. The speed varies; you speed-up, and slow down.
