Performed by Alphonse Doc Cheatham, trumpet Accompaniment: Kenny Davern, clarinet & soprano sax: Vic Dickenson, trombone: Dick Wellstood, piano: George Duvivier, bass: Gus Johnson Jr., drums 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 of the finest swing or mainstream playersfound 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 Dixieland jazz minus the banjos, tubas, steamboats andmagnolias! 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 weaving parts, not one of precision ensemble figures. Andin short, it is one of the greatest improvisational experiences any jazz player could hope to have. Includes a printed music score and access to professional recordings online featuring full performances and performances minus thetrumpet part so you can take the lead! The audio is accessed online using the unique code inside each book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you toslow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.
