Shine was a Louis Armstrong favourite in the 1930's. Now performed by the Dixieland Crackerjacks.

With Lielian Tan - drums, Bart Tuinman - sousaphone, Johan Molenveld - banjo, Secret Identity - trumpet and Bert Brandsma - alto saxophone.
The Dixieland Crackerjacks Supersize Orchestra made its debut in the year of 2000. Initially it was asked to play just one gig with music in the tradition of the big brass bands from New Orleans. The invitation came from the organisers of the Cycling contest: Tour of Holland. The musicians of the band liked it that much that they decided to try to get more work with this enlarged orchestra so some pictures were taken and sent around to spread the news. Two trumpets, two trombones, three saxes and three rhythm made up this ensemble. Since then the band plays several times a year at various events.

Despite the many musicians involved the music is only from head arrangements. No charts or scores are used, to give the band members as much freedom as possible. This results in a most spontaneous kind of music, as much a pleasure for the audience to listen to as for the participants to play it.

In the beginning the band played with 10 musicians, for the Jazz festival in Kiel a Grand Marshall was added and in the year 2005 the band was further enlarged to 12, when the rhythm section was strengthened by using both snare and bass drums.

  • Hardstikke leuk hoor! Beter als al die moderne shit muziek.Maar ja de jongeren kunnen dit nog niet waarderen!Ga door zo!!

  • Uit het eigen land krijgen we inderdaad niet zo vaak reacties van jonge mensen. Gelukkig uit het buitenland wel! Mexico, Verenigde Staten, Duitsland.

    Dat doet ons wel deugd, we hebben zelfs al een concert uit Duitsland binnengekregen uitsluitend dank zij Youtube!

    Bedankt voor de reactie.
