[Dixielandjazz] Coming Soon - OKOM music used on new Disney animation feature.

[David Richoux]

Hi all,

Just got back from a matinee show of "Up" (very good, stay to the very  
end of the credits for a little OKOM treat) and saw a preview for "The  
Princess and the Frog" - it seems somehow  to be partially set in "Old  
New Orleans" and some of the animation had OKOM trad and N.O. Brass  
Band characters - they can be heard a bit in the Teaser - see link  
below. Sounds like Randy Newman. (just checked - I was right: http://animatedfilms.suite101.com/article.cfm/randy_newman_scores_frog_princess 
  )

(Nothing new here - "Jungle Book" was almost all OKOM and the style  
pops up in other Disney films...)

So be looking for it around November.
