[Dixielandjazz] When Salsa Meets Jazz

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

Saint Gabriel's Celestial Brass Band has four Drummers that cut it 
about as Hot as it can be cut, :))

We use the song for encores at almost every Festival, sometimes we use 
it to Second Line out of a Festival to tremendous audience esponse all 
over the world.    It never fails to get us a standing ovation as the 
last song of a concert either.

The tune Begs for a heavy Funky Street Beat, if you can't do it that 
way for God's sake don't make it sound like a Dixieland Waltz.
If your group is a hardcore 2 beat banjo centered band don't even try 
it. :))   You will only Frustrate yourself and Annoy the audience.

Thank you "Sonny Rollins".

Cheers,

Tom Wiggins
Saint Gabriel's

  Have been using "St. Thomas" for years and Steve is right about it. 
But what you need mostly is a drummer who can cut it! Then, a 
clarinetist who can double flute is a splendid trade-off.
