Since 1980, Le Dixieband
has
been bringing bright new shadings, vitality and intensity to the redhot
strains and the hard-driving rhythms of traditional
New Orleans jazz. Its dynamic, seasoned musicians have set
themselves apart from similar groups by their one-of-a-kind mastery of
a unique repertoire performed in the
purest down-home style.
The six-player strong
(banjo, trombone, clarinet, trumpet, drums and sousaphone) Le
Dixieband has won a reputation for the musical quality and
liveliness of its arrangements, for a crowd-pleasing style that blends
humor with verve, for its drive and dapper period costumes. Its three CDs pay scintillating tribute to the
music of the twenties, infectious music that sets toes tapping and
brings smiles to faces everywhere: the sound people love to discover...
and rediscover.
Two Le Dixieband touring
shows
are currently available: a concert
program for general audiences, and, since 2002, a childrens'
program entitled A Journey to
Dixieland . A fast-paced, humorous running commentary is also
available on demand.
Le Dixieband has been a frequent guest at
musical events, national and international festivals, as its press kit eloquently testifies. Don't wait! Get
in touch with us to learn more about our special package deals and
availability.
We look forward to playing for you!
