[Dixielandjazz] Trying new songs........

[Charles Suhor]

I only just now got to listening to this, Jim. Fine combo, great eclectic jazz. The trumpeter from Croatia is in a fine Dixiebop groove, sort of like Leroy Jones in New Orleans.  Nakovana, Croatia, is the ancestral Suhor home, BTW. I visited the beautiful ruins (not an oxymoron) with my sister in 1990 and also dug Dubrovnik.

Sometimes they work, sometimes, not.  Here’s one that has become a favorite for our fans at our concerts….The Pink Panther:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdP59IFMx0s <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdP59IFMx0s>  The trumpeter is our new sub (from Croatia) who was filling in for our regular trumpeter that nite.

An easily recognized tune like the Pink Panther “draws in” the unwashed & makes them converts!  They usually all go “ooohh” just after hearing the ding of the cymbal & the da-da-dada, something that doesn’t necessarily happen with Weary Blues, or That’s a Plenty!   :>
