[Dixielandjazz] Is This Trad ????

[Bert]

Marek, I think the movie is from 1962. So actually 1 year after Acker and Ken had their biggest hits. Of course we could have intensive debate if those hits belong to jazz at all. Jazzy clarinet with strings for example is a good point to start with. However, my point is that at least these bands originated from the "trad" jazz corner. By some kind of miracle they became very succesfull and popular. But every jazz musician who became really popular had to make compromises. It never was generously sponsored by art funds.
I'm just happy the movie does exist in the first place. It is a strange experiment in how it was filmed. But also does give a glimpse of people near the peak of their popularity. Of course Chris by the time had lost Monty. Wheeler was never as popular with the crowds as he had been, but certainly not weeker as a player.

Have a nice day

I didn't mention the film because the "trad" there was hardly great!
The film was made towards the end of the "trad" era.
Cheers

Just watch the movie: "It's Trad Dad" or it's USA title:  "RING-A-DING RHYTHM" , to have a glimpse of how it was felt, when it was actually happening.

At least they still got into the movies at the time!
