[Dixielandjazz] Trumpet contest in Serbia

[David Richoux]

I have been following this kind of music for many years - Balkan  
Brass has spread all over the world and there are many bands (many  
are not ethnically "Balkan.) There is a website balkanarama.com/ 
bands.htm that has links to many of them.

While I am not very good at playing it yet, I am starting to figure  
out how the song structures work, and how someone can improvise in  
11/8 time! There is an annual music camp in Mendicino, CA for  
learning more (I have not been there, but I know some people who have  
gone.) http://www.eefc.org has more info on that.
