If you like nice and easy jazzmusic, not too loud and in a cosy atmosphere, played by musicians who still have fun in making that particular music, well then you will be pleased to hear the NEW ORLEANS RED BEANS, a Dutch band that has specialised in playing Dixieland in a very old form. The ’connoisseurs’ prefer to call it ”new orleans revival”. It is the way dixieland was played on the turn of the century in New Orleans. Music meant to entertain, to dance to or just quietly enjoy. The NEW ORLEANS RED BEANS, founded in 1985, successfully create the right atmosphere by adjusting themselves to the circumstances

SMALL JAZZ BAND - The Jazz Band of Cordoba City This traditional jazz band saw the light of day back in 1981 in the Argentine city of Cordoba, with a view to recreating the style of the first bands of the 1920s, like those of Joe “King” Oliver, Clarence Williams, Louis Armstrong, Sam Morgan, Johnny Dodds, Jelly Roll Morton and others which were perhaps not that well-known yet of equal musical worth. The Small Jazz Band is made up of teachers of Music Education. Over the span of its career, this ensemble has performed on countless occasions at the most varied events; worthy of mention are its appearances at the traditional jazz festivals in the cities of Santa Rosa, Mendoza and Rosario and the Festival Nacional de Jazz Antiguo de Bahia Blanca. In 1991, the Small Jazz Band toured several cities in Spain and in 1992 did so in Germany, appearing at the most remarkable jazz clubs in Hannover, Berlin, Bremen and other cities of great cultural importance. The Small Jazz Band has released many albums, including Harlem Joys and Alta Sociedad, an album which comprises the repertoire of the band after more than a quarter of a century of existence, featuring the collaboration of guest musicians from the United States, France and Chile, as well as from Buenos Aires.

Inspired by stride pianist, humorist vocalist Fats Waller on 10" LP's that included Al Casey-rhythm guitar, Herman Autrey-trumpet and Al Hall-string bass (I met them later in person), I learned to play clarinet in the Dover, NJ HS Marching Band. Fascinated with Sousa marches it didn't take me long to discover that Benny Goodman's clarinet style originated with Jimmy Noone and searched for the roots of clarinets' style that led me from Eddie Condon's friends in Chicago back to Algiers clarinetists in New Orleans. Started a HOT BLUES & JAZZ BAND in San Francisco in the '80's playing with Ragtime pianist Burt Bales, trumpeter Robin Hodes and jammed with Carl Lunsford, Ray Shelbred, Mal Sharpe and Turk Murphy. In 1996 invited pianist Red Richards (Saints & Sinners), bassist Johnny Williams Jr
