Dixieland Music

This CD is a delightful collection of classic Charleston melodies that the youth of another age danced to all night. Even though you may think of Charleston music as really old, it still can captivate the attention of today's youth and adults. The big band coupled with some amusing noisemakers make for an altogether enjoyable experience.

Wow, if you're looking for those hard-to-find Dixie tunes in a CD, these are they! Listen to this album and get lost in the sounds of New Orleans. It's difficult to locate songs like these nowadays, but this is a prime example of what I remember hearing on a steamboat paddling up the Mississippi through the heart of New Orleans.

It's got a non-obtrusive bass and trap pair, the percussive strumming of an acoustic banjo sounding guitar, a couple of decent trumpets, a trombone, a tuba, and a clarinet. I like how some tracks have tuba and some have bass, it makes a good contrast and keeps the music from getting stale.

Buy this if you want to hear dixie music at is current best. This is about as good a rendition as I've been able to find from today's selections.
