Jazz legends like Dick Wellstood, Alphonse 'Doc' Cheatham and George Duvivier will 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 players found themselves without an outlet for their skills, and took to playing 'Dixieland' in New York clubs such as Eddie Condon's and the Metropole. Thus,a new style of Dixieland jazz was born, 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 weaving parts, 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 book/CD package consists of a printed music score and a compact disc which includes two versions of each song from the book. The first version is a complete version with soloist, for you to practice with. The second version is a full stereo instrumental accompaniment, minus the solo bassist, that you will use for performances!
