[Dixielandjazz] Hot Jazz in Germany

[Tamas Ittzes]

Tom Duncan asked: A friend has asked about a band from Germany now led
by "Max" (of course, he doesn't know the last name). I suggested that he
just get some Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks CD's which he will do;
but, I hope someone can help with the name of a German b and now playing
'20's big band jazz.

It must be Max Raabe and the Palast Orchester from Berlin. Their
homepage at MySpace is:

See a New York Times article at:

Cheers,

Tamas
