Dixie Jazz with the emphasis on fun!
Not just content to keep feet tapping with their own brand of swing music they
feature some of the greatest jazz favourites. Labelled the “Harbingers of Hokem
and Hilarity” they have just recorded their first CD “Keep on Smiling". Several
numbers with an African sound added to an eclectic mix of styles from this pro
band
An appreciative audience of long time
regulars to the club stayed for three
45 minute sets.
I Won’t Dance, That's a Plenty, Singin' the Blues, Louisian-i-a, When I’m
64, Skokiaan, I’d Climb the Highest Mountain, Windows, My Buddy, Jumping at the
Woodside
On Treasure Island, The Martinique, Isle of Capri, Bad Penny Blues,
Mandela, Corrina Corrinaa, I May be Wrong, Stomping at the Savoy, Bloodshot Eyes,
Seven Come Eleven
Treme song, Lily of the Valley, Creole Jazz, Route 66 (A66 was the bands
road home!) Weatherbird Rag, Oriental Man, Rockin' Chair, St. Thomas, That’s my
Home
This band
lives up to what it says on the tin – they (and the audience) go home as Happy
Chappies.
