<div dir="auto">Our band has only been performing for a dozen years or so, but our set list is maybe stretching the boundary a bit.

My band, now in its 56th year playing in Spain, and in particularly in<br>
Madrid, has long used the following heading on our Promotional blurp (here<br>
translated into Engish): "Dixeland Jazz, New Orleans Jazz, Traditional<br>
Jazz..different names for the same music. A Music created in New Orleans<br>
and represented in Spain during the past 56 years by the CANAL STREET JAZZ<br>
BAND".<br>
<br>
We play mainly for a non-Jazz orientated crowd, and we like to mix our song<br>
list up with old, more traditional tunes, and include songs right up to the<br>
1960's. That way, we can introduce some of the earlier songs while keeping<br>
the audience pleased with melodies they might be more aware of. Also, it<br>
has been a way of keeping all the members of the band happy, by including<br>
all the different tastes we all have in music styles. I mentioned yesterday<br>
adding a 2nd song made popular by Elvis Presley. We also play The Pink<br>
Panther, The Flintstones, A Smooth One (Benny Goodman), Lil' Darlin',<br>
Watermelon Man, On the Street Where you Live...and many more that are not in<br>
the "Dixieland" song list normally. <br>
<br>
Maybe not everyone's idea of a good plan, but it has worked for us in the<br>
area in which we function.<br>
