[Dixielandjazz] Feel the Jazz

[Bert Brandsma]

Hello Marek,
I play on 2 or 3 Feel The Jazz CD's.Have the feeling that they are not very active lately, but here is the link :
http://www.spronk.nl/website/index/index.php?pagid=2
You have to use the Dutch version of google to find it, so dot NL.
search on artist names in the " Zoeken " function, and you'll probably find some CDs :

Kind regards,
Bert Brandsma

> Strange as it may seem, this is a Durch record label, well worth
> searching.  Ran by Spronk in Breda, it has recorded numerous excellent
> Dutch musicians and bands, as well as foreign artists visiting Breda.
> It has also issued quite a few Cds of music from the annual Breda Jazz
> Festivals (used to be Old Style jazz Festival), which still feature a
> good proportion of OKOM.
> I have just finished listening to FTJ CD 11 - George Probert with two
> Dutch groups: The Brabant Swing Machine and the Scat Cats, both also
> featuring Rob Cremer on cornet..
> Both groups are very good, and Probert definitely is not the only
> oyster in the stew.  Some of the Dutch musicians match - if not better
> - their Ameican guest.  Just listen to Cremer, the trombonist Jack van
> Elewout (who also plays an array of other instruments, albeit not on
> this particular CD), or the pianist Harry Kanter.
> The first band features vocals by Loes van Wees, whom i have described
> in The Mississippi Rag as "a real hot mama."  Her diction is
> excellent, and, although she tries to sound "black," she does not
> sound affected.
> The Scat Cats are - or used to be - one of the hottest bands anywhere.
>  On this particular showing, the Swing Machine has an edge because of
> the vocals by the Scat Cats' cornetist and banjoist, who try too hard
> to affect an American accent.  But Probert is more prominent on that
> session.
> While I consider the label worthwhile, I do not know how to find it on
> the web - I've tried both Feel the Jazz and Spronk, but got too many
> results to really know what was going on (one wa about a car - Honda
> Jazz).
> I have many more, mainly vinyl, and not one that is not good, even if
> some are better than others, and some include numbers which I whish
> were not there.
> Season's greetings
