[Dixielandjazz] Dirty Dozen Brass Band

[David Livingston]

I would have to disagree with you, David. The "Modern
Jazz" cats would most likely turn their nose up at the
Dirty Dozen. 

I believe that their music (the Dozen & other brass
bands) is an evolution of OKOM. All these kids grew up
listening to Armstrong, Jelly Roll, Kid Ory, Buddy
Bolden and other N.O. greats. They just play the old
standards in a style that is exciting to their (my)
Generation. 

If you really want to hear how the brass bands play,
go to New Orleans and spend a few nights at Donna's
Bar & Grill, http://www.donnasbarandgrill.com/ 
The best place in N.O. to hear the brass bands.
