Such jazz legends as Dick Wellstood Alphonse 'Doc' Cheatham and George Duvivier and more back you up in this amazing collection of New York-style Dixieland standards. After the break-up of the big-band era around 1950 many ofthe finest 'swing' or mainstream players found themselves without an outlet for their abilities and took to playing 'Dixieland' in New York clubs such as Eddie Condon's and the Metropole. And so was born a new style of Dixielandjazz minus the banjos tubas steamboats and magnolias! It is this version we celebrate on this album. We encourage you the soloist to invent counter-melodies rather than mere harmony parts. This is a music of loose weavingparts not one of precision ensemble figures. And in short it is one of the greatest improvisational experiences any jazz player could hope to have. This pack includes a high-quality printed music score and compact disc featuringstereo accompaniments to each piece. Performed by Vic Dickenson trombone; Accompaniment: 'Doc' Cheatham trumpet; Kenny Davern clarinet and soprano szx; Dick Wellstood piano; George Duvivier bass; Gus Johnson Jr. drums
