[Dixielandjazz] Some Like it Hot Band at French Quarter Festival

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

Hi Nita,
Glad to see you get that review!  Sorry my ears won't be able to hear  you 
from this far away upriver.
 
By the way, the person writing in about learning to improvise -- have you  
considered something like the New Orleans Trad Jazz Camp?  You'll find my  
endorsement on their website:

Hello  All,

Our band Some Like it Hot will be at the French  Quarter Festival on
Saturday April 9th from 1:30-3:30pm and at Preservation  Hall on Friday 
April
8th from 4:30-7pm.  We are thrilled and I have  copied a recent review of 
the
band in Where Yat Magazine.

Still have a few openings for the New Orleans Trad Jazz Camp if  anyone
out there is interested.


*Some Like it Hot*
The French  Quarter Fest veteran ensemble, Some Like it Hot, is a
straight-ahead,  traditional, Dixieland jazz band founded out of a pure,
unadulterated love  for New Orleans hot jazz. With its players always
sporting infectious  smiles, this six-piece has become a staple of the
Buffa’s Lounge Sunday  jazz brunch and has fanned out to become recognized 
at
private parties and  club shows throughout the city. This combo, which
features band leader  Kanye Caldwell on trumpet, Janice Medlock on trombone,
Eric Shuman on  Clarinet, Ron Kennedy on banjo, Lil Josephine on bass and
Nita Hemeter on  drums, has a repertoire that includes well-known 
traditional
tunes, such as  “Basin St. Blues” and “Down by the Riverside,” as well as
more-elusive  hidden gems. This being said, Some Like it Hot is not a museum
piece. They  play their music with a joy and vibrancy that makes them stand
out among  the legions of starry-eyed nostalgics that come to New Orleans to
recreate  the sound of classic recordings. Be sure to check out Some Like it
Hot to  hear some of the music that has made New Orleans swing for well over
a  hundred years.—Garrett  Pittman
